Atopy or Atrophy

Every itch demands a scratch

Every scratch breaks my skin

Leaves a gaping wound within

Tears swell from broken skin

 

Only steroids can calm

The cytokine storm within 

And tie invisible threads

In a final stitch to save my skin 

 

Eczema isn\'t a disease or infection

It\'s a chronic affliction 

They say \"No pain No gain\"

I say \"All pain is in vain\"

 

The complex cause will startle you

When your body resolves to destroy you

Life\'s reduced to an indomitable rash
