I have a silicone body
It's been pierced and prodded
Covered in scratches - unable to heal
There is so little that my silicone body can feel

I have a silicone body
I stroke my arms with gentle caresses
As my feet stay planted below the shower head
Just to determine what I feel - I feel dead

I have a silicone body
It has been used and abused by many
But I feel nothing because it is not my body
It it merely silicone, right?

Tell me I'm not real
Tell me my body is made of silicone
I can't bare to think of it as flesh and bone

I just want to go home.
