An inhospitable truth I have

An inhospitable truth I have
   To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
   What a terrible truth!
 
It dances on my tongue
   When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags;
   On a bone – it gnaws.
 
It’s the shadow that follows
   My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
   And be the Ghost beside me.
