Skin You have the same skin throughout your whole life Yet how is it possible to feel like you’re not in your own skin? This is not me But yet here I am in front of the mirror Layers and layers they pile on Tears stream down my face for I don’t recognize myself anymore. Tempted to cut it all off But then they will see See how much pain I’m in And I can’t handle that. I can’t handle any of this My life is spirling out of control and all I can do is just stand here Looking at the mirror wondering where I went And if I’ll ever come back
