The Theory of Disease
apathy has settled in my heart
and in my bones
like a rare form of cancer
it eats at every cell of my being
it burrows into my marrow
consuming all I believed to be good
about you
about me
about the world
indifference is a sheath for my feelings
numbing any twinges of caring
but never halting the progression of my sickness
it will eat me up from the inside and leave nothing
but a shell
it was you
and you
and you
and even you
who gave me this disease
who left me with these symptoms
indicative of a greater malady
which left untreated
can bring about
the downfall of society
