Possessed

This black tar covers my brain, 
With viscosity of motor oil from a 1950's tractor, 
Wiping every so often but it still remains, 
Trauma of life may have been a factor,

Continuously drips finding my crevices of weakness, 
Seizing every ounce of good nature it can,
A vicious vacuum for precious meekness, 
This twisted consumption is part of some plan, 

Barbed wire around ribs puncturing with every breath, 
Wounds to never be healed duly,
A hand of tar pumps my heart preventing death, 
Even if it's the one thing the sickness seeks truly.
