Loosing a Name
I hate my name.
Six cold letters that envisions myself so well,
Wrapping every curve of my body,
Tracing every line of my face.
It feels like a violation.
Yet, there is no one to say no to but myself.
Someone came to me and bestowed this fucking curse,
Leaving me vacuum sealed in a skin that always burns.
Leaving.
Wanting.
Needing.
Two syllables that create a person,
Two syllables that create me.
Two syllables that leave me facing forward towards a mirror and wondering,
Who the fuck I am?
How can I look like letters?
I’ll try on different skins.
And become someone else.
But nothing suits me quiet as sweetly as my name.
