It's such a frighting thing to melt in your own skin, at first it was nothing, then it was more than myself.
I had found an egg in my backyard with me at its center,
all stuffed inside with not much air left to breathe
I wondered how I looked to the average passerby, if I was ugly
or, not unlike a Robins egg, so pretty that even the boys found me beautiful.
Don't touch it or the mommy won't come back we were always told.
I wan't to spend my life laying down and watch the stars fall.
And, occasionally, to wish to go out just the same, but instead I'll just sit in my bed because it's what I know and imagine up a real pretty field somewhere because its where I'd like to go.
