skin my body,

to give you these words raw.

polish my bones,

through my mask, you never saw.


tear apart my smile,

to show you this pain at its truth.

save my tears,

for this ocean represents my youth.


paint my thoughts red,

to try and make the darkness brighter.

i wanted your help,

but you turned away with the lighter.


remove my flesh,

the shadows lie underneath my bones.

hear my screams,

all i ever wanted was to return home.


skin my body,

to give you these rhymes raw.

polish my eyes,

because of the light, i never once saw.
