"I'm ******* crawling out of my skin"
Weaponized nonchalance Killing my ambiance Maybe I've just been too afraid Turning calm into a shield Hiding myself in tiny pills Nothing in the hand I play Blank face cards stare unflinchingly back As everything inside me fades to black I drink in the air but it's never enough I suffocate in my potentiality Watching my fragile reality As it becomes chipped paint and rust
