Intertwine
May 9, 2020
I’m trying to get out of this skin.
It hurts every time I move
there’s nothing in here for me
I keep hearing voices coming
from all over the place
telling me I don’t
belong here
I know I don’t
but this skin is stuck on me
and I can’t get out
I’m tired of
pretending to be someone
I’m not
It hurts every single time I move
It’s like it’s a constant reminder that
I don’t belong
wait a minute
they’re talking
to me—oh god they’re trying to kick me out—
their voices keep growing louder
—god this head is no use to me
why can’t they leave me
alone with my own voice?
there are pictures in here
I don’t remember them
but they make me feel
melancholic
especially this person’s face
why does this person
make me feel
happy
but sad
at the same time?
wait
the voices are talking
to me again
—they’re telling me things
—wait they’re telling me
that…
