I once breathed a sigh of distrust
then screamed aloud mistrust
the deformed malady that followed
brought me to my knees
it's a disease that circles my veins
though I have gained my feet again
I am sick with this
this cancerous form of self betrayal
this rebuilding of dignity
this cold shoulder to pride
I have a new package on the way
a cure for my dismay
I wait patiently for its arrival
that light to kill the blackness of the dismal
