Goo Stuck On My Shoulder
I first noticed the suspicious goo on my shoulder when i was six
slowly feeling it grow day by day
and it didn't come off even with a few flicks
Friends and family comment on it
as it grew bigger, 2 or 3 days 4 days
they comment on it more and more like always
im hating and waiting for it to go away
but it never suffice
as i grew and grew
so did the goo
at thirteen it got worse, consuming my whole arm
it was starting to feel scarily warm
my friends and family kept commenting, that's when i decided to try and cut it off
if my whole arm had to go so be it
slicing and dicing
taking out chunks little by little
but a few hours later it will grow back over
i kept causing the harm
not to the goo, but to my arm
it hurt but i ignored because the goo was rising
as my family and friends kept commenting
2 or 3 months 4 months
waiting for it to stop just for once
i'm hating and waiting for this goo to stop
its not
eighteen, eighteen years have gone by,
finally a legal adult, finally free
or so I thought.
the goo was up to my chest
so close to my neck
in my dads studio
i laid in bed
the goo comforting me as i sleep until 2 or 3pm
no ambitions no job no life
so ready for the goo to consume me
it was hoping for that, waiting so long for the moment to reach the top of my head.
and i was just going to let it
the comments never stopped,
eighteen years and we were all still feeding it
still hating and waiting for it to just disappear
but i didn't know how to start.
being in a cycle of raising the goo
it was difficult to let your baby go
but this baby was a leech
and I was ready to pull it out.
slowly and surely the goo is now back on my shoulder
i know i can't get rid of it completely
but i know how to tame it
i'm the only holder of this goo
this goo on my shoulder
and we'll be together till death do us part
I do.
