Deserving
I want to run away from this place
The mushrooms grew in a perfect circle
My fear is of myself
I have heard there is evil inside those rings
So I can never escape it
Even seeing one, a bad omen
It is spidered through my insides
I take a deep breath
It is odious
I step to the middle
Fear fills me up
I am frozen, paralyzed
and it spews from me
Is this evil I feel?
Infectious, it spreads to any near
Yes
I am a disease
I contaminate
and I destroy
I am an evil force
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
