Zero
This burden was handed to me
Unwillingly placed into my hands
Stained within my skin
And I don’t know why
My heart begs me to rebel against this vague violation of human desires
And rebel I will
I shall scrub until this stain is no more
Scrub until I bleed
Scrub until I reach the bone
Wash it all away until my bone is pure white
And once I fall apart I will gather up my pieces from the dirt
I will cheat death one more time until I have satisfied my own hunger for meaning
This search for my own mortality is as addicting as heroin
And as deadly as cancer
I will never stop, never surrender, until I get an answer
