Pariah

It's unacceptable, In the hardest way. Like breathing in water, Like drinking life away. Destroying your mind Like termites on wood. Eating at your stomach, Hatching a brood. It's unacceptable, Like hiccups in prayer. A missed amen becomes your worst nightmare. It's unlivable, Like sleeping on the sun. A pain so great, Survival is, "run." It's unbelievable: A human connection. Misbegotten hope, Brain insurrection.
