I'm letting my skin go
I'm letting my mind wander
Emptying into existence
I was never once afraid
I'm perfecting my emptiness
So I can stay happy
I'm letting my skin go
And letting myself rip open
Cut me out, into cardboard
Rip me out, into poetry
Never let my coffin grow empty
And let my skin go
I feel weak, I feel wasted, and I feel like nobody cares
I'm lost, defected
If I was a doll, you'd throw me out on the street
I'm empty, so empty
I need to breathe but I'm too far under
Polishing my new skin
While letting the old skin go
I'm letting my skin go.
Letting my mind wander
Emptying into existence
I was never once afraid
Of becoming the monster
I'm letting my skin go.
Author notes
You want notes?
Do I need to go about my rant how I want to be pretty?
No?
Okay then. I won't.
I usually feel quite alone, though, the fact doesn't bother me.
I feel the reason is because I'm not pretty like everyone else.
It's my opinion.
Feel freed to disagree
I do understand why i feel this way
I'm not a teenager who's upset with the world for some stupid reason
I'm rather smarter than that actually.
Please tell me what you think

This is a really powerful piece. Great imagery of something, someone emerging from something dark and hollow into the light and becoming beautiful. Wonderful job and thank you for sharing. <3
From the awkward angle head shot though, you do seem quite pretty

Very interesting use of repetition, and the idea of shedding (shredding?) one's skin to change in some way... dark and yet not at all hopeless. A curious combination. You clearly have talent!
