The illness inside me
You crept up on me
All talons and teeth
No one can see you
You slumber beneath
I won't let you beat me
You are not my boss
I'm fighting against you
Won't concede to my loss
I want to expell you
Drive you from my being
Don't care if you're settled
I know what I'm seeing
So I'm forcing you out
Eviction is pending
Take your pain and get out
And let me start mending
