CLEAN ME !



CLEAN ME !!

CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams
From the inside out 
With those damn machines 
Body screaming, shouting out, 
Organ failing that's not in doubt 
Skin itchy and lizard like. 
Body exhausted threatening to strike, 
CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams

Yet I have a daily fill of capsuled toxins, 
Pills popping constantly,needles stinging like scorpions 
Legs shaky on any incline 
Hook me up now, like Frankenstein! 
I finally admit I'm in defeat 
CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
While I'm still on my feet, 

 CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams !

    It's not always easy to put to paper what's going on inside, but you did a good job of it here. I'm in hopes that your situation turns out for the best sooner rather than later...
