Gangrene

Sleep comes easily these days,

And inspite of a ticking mind, 

a blackout occurs more often, 

then conversation. 

 

Gangrene seems to have set into, 

the very core of my functioning, 

into a belief system, 

I once so heavily relied on. 

 

Yet I know, this rot will do me good, 

for it will eat away at falsehoods.

But let’s not forget that gangrene, 

can be greedy and eat away at much more…..
