Sometimes I want to claw myself out of my own skin
beacause I've never felt comfortable inside it
Life is always so much harder
when your trying to define it
Sometimes I want to regurgitate my insides
just to have a good look at them
Pick through the thoughts and feelings
and try to make sense of them
Sometimes I'll stare at my reflection
to forget the ugliness inside
I focus on the flesh and relish
the emptiness it provides
I dig deep into the layers
trying to trace my disease back to its origin
But I still never know what I'm looking for
when I delve inside the skin

The date on this poem is 11-1-06.
There is a lyric which I love and always seems to stick in my head that seems to capture the idea behind this poem and so I'll share it with you. "I search for meaning in sores, the sentences they might form It's the grammar of skin, peel it back, let me in." - Sleater-Kinney |
