Straight Through

Like a wave of cancer

it swept over me

and I couldn’t answer the question

yet again

it penciled me in

a stairway by the door

I was watching the clock

tick slowly away

and I’m still here somehow

stuck in the madness

the night I figured out

that one day this just might return

back again in the hallway

I decided to open up

I changed my mind

No luck on that side

So until then I’ll keep on swimming

Until I find my way

Through your ocean of sickness

 

Let’s see...

What is this?
