It’s like a growth that you know is there but you refuse to seek medical treatment You just avoid touching it trying to convince yourself that you’re okay You’re not dying It’s a scent that will linger on like skunk on a dog No matter your special remedies the smell isn’t going to go Until it goes on it’s own But I’m convinced This feeling isn’t killing me or straining my senses I’m okay I’m not dying
