Flesh peels from the edges
My living tissue revealed
All that my skin contains
The essence of who I am
My feelings, my emotions
Driven out from my core
Only allows me to suffer
With each new scar
My flesh stripped away
Layer by layer, every minute
By things I hold dear
They damage me the most
My unprotected core is exposed
My true self stripped away
Inch by inch, I live in my despair
Never to know the joy of others
Joy that so easily comes to them
Forever out of my grasp, unattainable
My core burns, my living flesh stings
Scars thicken to try and protect
Yet each scar is constantly re-opened
Each wound re-made fresh daily
All of the hatred, venom and bile
Poured into my wounds for my suffering
My scars ripped open
My flesh peeled away
Salt is my only salve
Driving home my agony
