The Fungus Among Us
I am battered and beaten
My abuser, a monster called Fungus
That lives among us
Hiding in the shadows
Disrupting our lives
In ways you don’t realize
Until one day you wake up
To a nightmare of non-living
Barely existing
The more you resist
The more the abuse persists
There’s a category five
Raging inside you
You try to run away
But you can not hide
From the beast inside
That’s eating you alive
I have been shattered and broken
By a monster called Fungus
That lives among us
It takes hold with its Molds
And won’t let go
It poisons your soul
You wake to realize
You’re in a fight for your life
Barely existing
You try to resist
But the abuse persists
There’s a raging storm inside
You try to run away
But you can not hide
From this beast inside
That’s eating you alive
