i am glowing
shining
warm and happy
the happiest

a facade
a facade

my skin crawls
my bones ache
my mind numb
with too many thoughts

my flesh has begun to rot

a foul smell
that only my nose
can detect

making myself dizzy

i am alive
i am the happiest

every last bit of me
into a facade

making darkness
into light

I'm an alchemist
