skin

freckled, splotchy, red skin
scars, moles, stretched skin
i've never felt comfortable in my skin
there's been some mistake
this skin's not mine
it belongs to someone else
wrinkled, sagging and ruined
i'm trapped inside
feeling like i'm suffocating
trapped...
hard to breathe
uncomfortable
inside and out
i don't want anyone to see me
to notice
how uncomfortable i am in this skin
