#functioning
Repairs all the time, to stay myself, my meta- morphical body.

[ Repairs all the time ]
As if my body is new, and I, again, have -- to search for the brake.

[ As if my body ]
Scratching off my skin and digging my eyes out. The cracks branch off at the corners, swollen and puffy. A busted lip, some pills, and a drink to help me relax. Didn't work. Little levies break now and then to spill small kernels of my locked up consciousness, then retract back in on itself. Functional. Motions, actions, procedures. Pushing through the grime towards the bathtub. Through the haze typing delicately to oneself. Giggle. Glorify yourself. Lose your voice in explanation of everything except the important parts, the parts they already secretly know. The stomach churns, sudden twinges pierce all the muscles. Conversations swim about other things. The oncoming memories, the irritations of daily life. Just being here.

|| Falling Apart ||
I look around me Everybody seems so comfortable They know how to interact They can talk easily with each other They know how to treat each other. Me, I stand here...stupid Mute, afraid to speak Everytime I think I have it figured out I stumble and fail. When did I miss the lesson on functioning in life? Why is so hard for me to talk, interact? Tired of failing I am just gonna stand here In the corner, mute Don't mind me.
