spinning away from my own reality
an out of body experience
I am trapped in skin
slamming against the walls
I suffocate in layers of flesh
gnashing, bone against bone
crumbling to dust.
hair falls down the drain
as my tears find themselves
inconspicuously riding among the
streams of heat.
I slide down the cold plastic
a scolding reminder of reality
grounding myself
watching the steam create drops
a mind eager to escape confines

spinning away from my own reality
an out of body experience
I am trapped in skin
slamming against the walls
I suffocate in layers of flesh
gnashing, bone against bone
crumbling to dust.
hair falls down the drain
as my tears find themselves
inconspicuously riding among the
streams of heat.
I slide down the cold plastic
a scolding reminder of reality
grounding myself
watching the steam create drops
a mind eager to escape confines
