It's eating you, br beating you br into submission, br soaking br into every pore and cell br of your being, br like a germ, br making you squirn br and sweat. br It's flowing through your veins br like liquid poison, br and being exhaled br with every breath. br It's a foreign body. br Unwelcome. br Killing you quietly. br br You need an antidote br to grab it by the throat br and promote br what was there before. br br Before THAT br started eating you.
