Peeled
You look around
As eyes just like yours
do the same
All wondering
the same thing
Nothing matters
anymore
Your problems
seem minuscule
As you're whisked away
in a ball
A very, very frightened
ball
You don't know
what's going on
All you know
are the shrieks
And the pain
you can almost taste
Until you realize
that's your own
As you
feel the blood
Running down your
throat and face
Your neck
snapped
Your skin peeled
like the skin of an orange
The peel
of a banana...
...I bet you never knew you'd make such a beautiful scarf
(Written about the skinning of animals for their fur)
