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
