Cancer (Free verse) by tangerinepuddle
My skin
I want out
My body
I want out
This hole
I want out
gaping
A thousand knives
I have sharpened
Carving in the raw tissue
The gaping hole
Grab my stomach
Pull it out
It's almost physical
Flaws
Black and far back
Fuck this personality crap
Fresh start she says
Well, not here
Everything is old, stale, dead
Buildings, streets
Restaurants and signs
Windows
Glaring, screaming
Remember this?
Look what you did!!!!
I yearn to glare back
But not this time
I close my eyes
Cover my face
Don't listen, don't feel, don't think, don't remember
my life
Wrap me in a black shroud
Place me under a tree
Cast me in plaster
and turn me off.
