Flesh And Bone

Humanity lies connected
Within a constellation of bodies
Each of us shines and dances
Giving to much to what's percepted
Behind walls of flesh our hearts—
Lie—hidden and protected
Trying to hard to be accepted...
So—hard to reach out – stand out
Reflection – self-rejection –

Looking upon my flesh
I wish for no more
With knife I cut
‘Till slivers of skin
Lie in blood upon the floor
And – I wonder(X 4)
Now that I'm a monster
Scabbed, bloodied, scarred, and sore
Will you still love me anymore?

The flesh disowned lies in the shadows-
Of fashion / profit / consumption / nothing
Pale white bone animated / standing alone
Burn – perception / Burn – perception
