Eczema

Your thoughts
Are like the
Itches of
Eczema

I scratch
Them away

They subside
For a while…

Then come back
Again with
Renewed force
And energy
Imposing
Themselves
On me

Thus begins
The
Never-ending
Cycle of
Itching and
Scratching…

How discomforting
How profusely
Tiring…

Yet
There are no
Steroids -
In this world
That can stop
The eczema
Of your
Thoughts
From
Resurfacing…
