Fight, fight hard.
It grips my eyeballs,
squeezes and tears are always rolling.
I want a trowel.
Dig straight into the top of my head.
Pull out the slime
that wants me to kill my soul,
to shatter my vessel.
Where does the slime go when I die?
Scream for help but it’s foolish.
They can’t remove the slime.
Their medicines are Band-Aids
for a brain blasted by a .357.
Let me hop on a balloon,
fly until it pops,
land in a volcano,
disintegrating into molten slime,
slime remainders that have lost their power.

Slime is such an disgusting word, it really makes me understand how vile you find your unhappiness.

…a substance that is liquid and is solid and it flows in to block your consciousness from all that is good in the world. It is horrid stuff…
