I am utterly vile My yellowed body bloats Flesh festers with larvae Numbers at my feet climb Like mold on damp walls I am like a festering wound Filled with maggots and pus Like a half-decayed corpse Skin bruised, yellowed, and knawed Like mold you don't notice Until you bite the bread it lay on It is not real, I tell myself I do not really look like that, I promise myself But every photo I see, Every pair of downcast eyes, Every word I type Tells me otherwise I wish to grow claws And shred my skin off my bones To burn the corpse I live in To **** this infested meat I inhabit I open my fridge for a snack But the power had been cut long ago The meat is ridden with maggots The fruits melting with decay The air buzzing with insects who make their way over to me And burrow into the **** on my stomach I am vile, disgusting, horrendous, viscerally ugly, disturbing, rotting, horrid, decaying, putrid, and I am running out of ways to say it. I am disgustingly human and disgustingly dead. All that is left to do is to burn the corpse.

Burning My Corpse
I am utterly vile My yellowed body bloats Flesh festers with larvae Numbers at my feet climb Like mold on damp walls I am like a festering wound Filled with maggots and pus Like a half-decayed corpse Skin bruised, yellowed, and knawed Like mold you don't notice Until you bite the bread it lay on It is not real, I tell myself I do not really look like that, I promise myself But every photo I see, Every pair of downcast eyes, Every word I type Tells me otherwise I wish to grow claws And shred my skin off my bones To burn the corpse I live in To **** this infested meat I inhabit I open my fridge for a snack But the power had been cut long ago The meat is ridden with maggots The fruits melting with decay The air buzzing with insects who make their way over to me And burrow into the **** on my stomach I am vile, disgusting, horrendous, viscerally ugly, disturbing, rotting, horrid, decaying, putrid, and I am running out of ways to say it. I am disgustingly human and disgustingly dead. All that is left to do is to burn the corpse.
I got the idea when eating moldy bread.
