Cancerous
It burns and i bear it, teeth clenched and grinding,
stomache; churned while my head is still churning,
nostalgia takes hold of my soul for the binding,
effulgent in glow, but the texture is yearning,
I wither; a slave to myself and no other,
I falter; a moment of weakness forsakes me,
I fall, and yet it feels like I'm flying,
I rise.. only to find myself withered,
I'm stained.... by the depths of my doubts....
like cancer it plagues me; buried and burrowing........
.......................please rinse me out
