Inflammatory Thoughts

Censure your thoughts
That beg to be carved into paper
That the acid that eats away at you
Won't alarm the people you love.

It's not disease, they will say, but dis-ease
You are only making it worse by being afraid
Don't you know it's your duty to allow the healthy to be comfortable
And suffer in silence, swallowing pain?
Opinion is more important than fact

You're trying to hard, don't try so hard
All you have to do is love the body that betrayed you
Stop whining, be grateful!
