Anaesthetize

It's time to cut

away that which grew to be cancerous.

Time to cut

deep, before the onset of the rancorous

thoughts; before you drive yourself

crazy with self doubt.

So anaesthetize,

to dull, to drown out

the pain, temporarily,
so you can weed
out every little soft spot.
Before it can bleed

and dry out,
to form sharp edges,
razor sharp,
putting in wedges

between you
and everyone around;
numb it down.
Anaesthetize to unbound.
