mentality by Jay Johnson

I must remove my organs

Not because I want to

Because I need to

I have been betrayed

Forced to cut out the cancer

It grows inside hiding in my existence

I must starve it

Remove all chances it has to exist

But these failures keep it alive

The uncontrollable allows its existence

Feeding off of them

Never allowing its death

I sit here forced

Having to let its life continue

Never being allowed to remove the cancer
