I want to pull my teeth out
Scratch my skin off
Peal off my exterior
I'll be gruesome
Gross
Bloody
Ugly
A mess of the unseen
Muscles, bones and joints intertwined
I want to peel off my identity and be anonymous
A smokescreen
But I want you to see my heart
Tattoo it on my sleeve
Add a piercing and dangle my feelings for you to read
I need you to see what I cannot
May I love and be loved
By not only another but myself as well
May I stop chasing the future me and live, guide the current
May I live within my body, contrary to watching through a film
I want to peel away my façade
Let me read the thoughts that coat my body
Dig up my forgotten childhood
Find myself within an endless forest.
