Surfacing

Writhing beneath my skin
There's no room to breathe
I am still alive in this strange carcass
Paralyzed in a different realm

Staring through a stranger's eyes
Staring into my own
Wearing a stranger's face
I can feel each brittle bone

I tear through the stitching and rip through the skin
I see through the thin layers of reality
Conscious of my subconscious
Conscious of my own skin
I feel trapped beneath the physicality
Breathing gets harder as I struggle through the strain
My limb goes numb as I get lost in the pain
Separate from my physical self
Surfacing from this mental hell

I scream to be hear but no one tries to help
I reach out to the dark but my flesh gloves are stopped
A coffin wall
Six layers of flesh
My flesh suit tightens as reality sets in

Suffocating
My breathing is stiffened
Blinded
my sight has lessened
Numbing my feelings
Life has lost all meaning
No choice not to make
My life now to take
