Radiation

Poison again soon I will swallow
And rely on a prayer
That this pill won't make me hollow
Because to kill this disease I dare.

Taxing my liver, devouring my kidneys
Due to mankind; wicked  germ
Everyday for me this is to be
But for a tomorrow I yearn.

Moments without torture and pain
Slowly eating my soul
Causing nightmares driving me insane
A day when I can fully endure the toll.

The disease will not physically kill
But sometimes I believe it already has devoured
Almost all of my will
And my outlook soured.

The light will shine
And tomorrow I will wake
Even though tonight I will pray
My soul to take!
