just a poem

Caught in me


I wear my skin like borrowed clay


It sticks, it shifts, It wont obey


I wash, I scratch, I try to flee


But it still clings, it wont let me be


I long to shed this sticky shell


To leave behind this cage I dwell


Yet every mirror, every seam


Reminds me I am caught in me
