they call it a disease

not a moral failing (anymore);

and to be sure

i'm more than happy to admit

that it's not my fault

by no fault of mine.

the self-consciousness will follow;

just don't let me languish

like this, like the others

to wallow in this mire of a life

this sad world, this miserable existence;

i want more.
