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.
