A rust stained sky A black goodbye A grayscale lack of words Humanity Evades me Identity Annihilates me Hammer me into shape Skin me alive Hammer me into shape Buried inside Hammer my into shape Skin me alive Hammer me into shape Everyday another portrait Everyday another heartbreak Everyday another image that devastates Another memory that obliviates me My body Isn't mine Purgatory Locked inside Locked away inside my rib cage I can't escape the gaze I don't recognize the person I see I'm so sick of this complacency When the act of sight becomes self harm It's my eyes that make my scars I've never felt so close Yet so far left behind God's image God's image is stitched to my mirror I tear him in two and my vision gets clearer Hammer me into shape Disgusting how my bones interlace
