Shock

like pulling teeth
i can't wait to get this thing removed
thought it was an ingrown hair
but apparently the pain shows me where it really hurts

state of shock
phone too expensive
undeliverable mail
line of communication down

beware the water

side effects may include
swelling and shrinkage

waking up more dead everyday
voiceless expressions

no time to mourn the lost
survivalism and denial
remember me not forgotten

how is life worth all this pain
what did i enevitably learn in this experience
surrendering to societies malfunctions
I don't believe in

Beware the water
