there's an itchiness under
my skin where
millions of spiders chew past
the hard scarred flesh
of my forearms.
i scratch, scratch, and scratch
until I see the skin
under my chewed nails
dried with red ivory.
it's an impulse—
a bodily demand
forcing me to relinquish
my control and surrender
it to someone else.
there's an numbness in my head.
something fogging my brain
like static from a faulty wired
television.
a loud thumping
demanding me to
do things unspeakable things.
to harm, to hurt, to cry.
there something wrong with me.
there's something in me that makes
me so terrible.
I am slowly going crazy.
