Inside myself a sickness grows

What this is nobody knows

I guess it’s all left up to me

Self inflicted autopsy

Life threatening disease

Crushing mortality

I instigate the chase

Confront it face to face

A sharpened scalpel’s edge

Holds me to my pledge

To see what perpetrates

And to exterminate

Self inflicted autopsy

Incision at the breast

Continues down my chest

The forceps snip away

To aid in making way

Self inflicted autopsy

With both hands I take hold

Of flesh that’s turning cold

Then I fold back the skin

Inspecting what’s within

Self inflicted autopsy

Rib cage sawed open

Leading me to my lungs

Black in color

Covered with rotting sludge

Scrape away

This layer of rotted decay

Only to find

My lungs have been eaten away

The ailment is aware

of my presence there

And it reacts

My blood vessels constrict

And the pressure inflicts an

overwhelming pain

Swelling in my bowels – they

burst open

Bathing me in excrement

Why this futile attempt

My life hangs in the balance

of this premature autopsy

My vision starts to sway

The numbness fades away

My patience growing thin

Blurred judgment does me in

To my stomach it moves

Its cunningness is proved

Carving knife in my grip

My stomach lining’s ripped

Self Inflicted autopsy

Acid leaks from my abdomen

Burning melting me from within

Disease haunts me laughs as I die

My pride ends this bizarre suicide
