Angst - 5. Suspicion
Suspicion is like a flesh-eating bacteria.
Ebola of the mind.
It eats away at trust
and leaves gaping holes of doubt,
wounds festering and gangrenous--
food for the maggots
that devour acceptance and belief
and vomit skepticism.
Is there no antibiotic?
Is there no treatment, no cure?
Can words of innocence
never be enjoyed again?
Have you robbed me of this,
of simple enjoyment without question?
Have you robbed me of this
forever?
