The boil

Mental suffering is like a painful boil
Pressure building up inside; roiling 
Heat; emanating from deep within
Feel it burning up through your skin
As it festers; deep within your mind 
A painful memory; therein lies 
Some ghost is calling you to task 
"Why didn't you hear me?"
"Why does this pain still last?"
To escape this burden you must be
Yes; you must be; brave 
Take the sharpened lance
Strike home; deep within
Through that hot, distended skin
Pierce that boil within its heart 
Excise that boiling putrefaction 
Allow the heat to slowly depart
Then and only then
 Will peace abound
