Malignant growths are unmanageable,
it cracks below the surface
and my hands spiral out of control
we’ll fill in the flaws with silence.
My eyes steer without consideration.
Though, I learn difficult truths
hoping to grow thicker skin,
(I flake under pressure.)
I do not benefit
out of this exchange
yet I linger,
yet I stay.
