The Killer Inside

The Killer Inside Unleashed from hells as it slowly swells The monster is on the loose With demon eyes that capitalize It holds you by the noose You’re unaware as you both will share The blood that runs through you It mutilates as it escalates Until your death is in its view In the world of small, it does not stall As the venom is overflowing I see it in your eyes as it multiplies For the scars are sadly showing Like a freight train and all its pain There are no stops along the way The monster roams in your chromosomes And steals the sunshine from your day.

You wrote a brilliant poem. Only pain could pen such beauty, only pain seeks such balance in thoughts and feelings. All who read this are blessed by your words. I am full of regret for your situation and will hold your Mother in thought when I meditate. I don't know you, but pray that you believe in and hold tight to that invisible gift called FAITH. Sometimes I feel as though I have no choice but to believe He knows what HE is doing. Love to you ... CayCay

Wow . What a poem. Very good. I must add that I was a survivor of an aggressive cancer, not expected to live and here I am. Believe it or not, I do feel that Mangosteen Juice supplement , I found at the health food store...did miracles! God bless you
