skin

My heart races and I cannot escape it. I'm stuck inside my skin. I itch with anxiety and my chest collapses. I'm stuck inside my skin. Tear me out, piece by piece. Let me go from this bag of flesh that traps me in this horrid place. I'm stuck inside my skin. I'm not insecure; this is not about appearance. I want to escape my self. Hide n go seek with my own mind, inside my mind. I'm stuck inside my skin. This skin that is the cocoon for a worthless worm that could never grow wings to escape. Unzip me and let my contents pour out. I'm stuck inside my skin.
