Fallacy
I bare
This carcass
Upon the page
In all it's ugliness
Purging poison
Like puss from a sore
Not a joyful read
Scrawled
By a living corpse
Just functioning undead
Who feels nothing
Around him
Dragging these old bones
Out of bed
Becomes routine
More muscle memory
Than an urge
To get into the world
This fallacy
Of my gift for words
Is an illusion
My true nature
Is spilling
Before you now
A virus
Local outbreak
Isolate
Eradicate
Or i will spread
Out of control
