It truly is agony
Enduring these moments
When I wish I could just
Step out of my skin and
Expose my marrow
To show from the inside out
How my bones connect
How my blood circulates
A real first hand view of
How I experience pain
But, oh what a mess!
All that blood and ()...so untidy
So impolite to be walking around
Without your skin just to make a point
Better to keep it hidden
