Dark Disease

The disease rolls on ahead

While I fall behind in the dust.

How do we shake the disease

If it’s already winning?

Is there any point in trying anymore?

Soon, it’ll take over and I will be gone from this place.

Is the disease worth it?

I can’t seem to win against it.

It always surges ahead when I am weakest.

It breaks me down, hurts me inside.

No one knows this dark secret of mine

The secret disease that lies beneath my skin.

Let all the ice freeze me,

All flames of fire burn me

Before this disease takes me in it’s clutches.
