Crawling out my skin
I see myself like no one else,
I see fat, useless and over sensitive .
I see I'm not myself,
Feelings creeping up,
I'm a stranger.
I crave crawling out my skin,
Show my true self,
Happy, kind and brave.
Acceptance is a fear,
crawling back, isolation.
I see myself like no one else.
I crave crawling out my skin,
You've come to known a stranger.
