Run run run

Run away from the blue stench

the smell that lingers till this day

 

You scrub, you peel but you can’t escape the decay

 

Run run run

Run away from the azure snot

the muck inching down your throat 

 

You cough but the knot persists and doesn’t get the message to boot

 

Run run run

Run until you realize that you don’t know what you are running from

The illness that haunts you has no perpetrator.

 

Its you.
