Whenever i have the opportunity to explore another,
that voice man,
creeps humming behind my ears,
then asking “are you worth their time”
then suddenly im standing,
not engaging
the want ran away from me

Her face
Burned deeply into my mind
Setting ablaze that rollercoaster of emotions

i wanna strip off this fake skin
show you my brittle broken bones

sometimes when I peek at that reflection
every intention involved in letting the world see me
instantly goes away

like popping an irritating long lasting pimple
pressing out all excess
endure pain
