My Cyst

My breast is getting in the way of my thoughts today
Remember the time no one would lance the cyst 
So I lanced it myself?
I am thinking now that may have been a mistake.
I reach for the carving knife.
It may be time for a secondary operation.
Surely this thing would not dare grow back a third time!
