It’s eating me from the inside
Chewing and chomping
Gnawing and gnashing
It’s eating me up
Taking away my soul
My reasons for living
For being
For being me
It’s eating me up
Though it stays inside
Like a disease
That can’t be cured or cut away
It eats silently then deafeningly loud
Taking my soul with it
Taking me
Taking me
I am a shell of who I once was
The disease is winning
Its fight is easy now
It only has the shell left
It is taking me away
My life
My being
My soul
