Array ( [sid] => 19485 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => i am tumor [time] => 2003-06-23 18:45:00 [hometext] => an old one i wrote, when i was taking a truckload of pills. intended to be a song. it has a double meaning. enjoy. [bodytext] => i am the serpent
coiled inside your soul for warmth
you are that which feeds me

i am the imposter
established in your life
i've convinced you that you need me

i am the colours
you see when your pupils dilate
i shift with your mood to avoid detection

i am the cancer
that's devouring you
i am the most deadly infection

i am the sickest fiend
for i am really
Nothing at all
i am the stone in your path
the hole in which
you always fall

i am Tumor

i am totally worthless
but you think
that i am a god

you make yourself believe
there's something in me, worth saving
but we both know there's not

i am the cut that just won't heal
only grows deeper
everyday

i am the lips that just won't seal
smiling as your secrets
i give away

i am the sickest fiend
for i am really
Nothing at all
i am the stone in your path
the hole in which
you always fall

i am Tumor

one day i fear
you will find me out
but by then it will be too late

you will fight me, alone
by then i'll be far too strong
and you'll have no hope for escape

i am the insanity
inside your mind
whispering soft, like a secret rumor

i am your hate, i am your fear
i am your Death
i am Tumor

i am the sickest fiend
for i am really
Nothing at all
i am the stone in your path
the hole in which
you will, forever, fall

i am Tumor (x3)

i am nothing

i am you [comments] => 3 [counter] => 287 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

it has been awhile since i have read your writings... i had forgotten the beautifully, sadly, sickly way in which you express yourself... this poem is amazing, for lack of a better word... engrossing and raw and sad a nd deep... excellent form and so very true about pills... or cancer... or you (me, anyone, etc...)... amazing... i hope you and your beloved wife are doing ok... blessings... michele

actually, "double meaning" is a bit of an understatement. it was initially written as a self-description, but the more i read it, the more things i find to liken it to. mostly to addictive things, i.e. drugs, alcohol, relationships, etc. but i think the one thing i've come to associate this scrawl with the most, is religion. in my opinion, this perfectly depicts jesus. just my opinion.
