Sebum Production

Water drenched my throat, 
Sliding into the cracks.
Blood runs thicker from taps,
And quickly forms into a moat.

Water, unstable, unpleasable,
Nothing can stick to you.
Your liquid starting to brew,
Soaking my words and syllables.

I ship similes on a paper boat,
And it starts sailing many laps
To avoid all the upcoming attacks.
I'm not longed for staying afloat.

The cup may be more than half empty, 
But I was made clumsy.
I'll dampen the air around my cyst;
So no fire can turn me to mist.
