The abscess that I should get rid of
because it's not real
It's encapsulated me
for as long as my memory
will allow me to remember
I've pricked it before
letting a little
of the purple puss
ooze
But today
I stabbed the core
that hard center
that started it all
and it all gushed
all the purple puss
leaving behind
a drained stem
the purple puss
parasitic
now the feeble stem
is raw
and rebuilding
