Wondering

Have you ever felt

like your skin is too tight?

like your blood is cold

or boiling?

have you ever felt

like you are suffocating?

You get dizzy

lights dim

or get brighter

Sometimes you hear a ringing

or muffled talking

Sometimes noise gets louder

Your skin gets itchy

and you want

no…

you need

to get out

to claw

to bleed

to let the bad out

and become clean

Fold your skin

inside-out

let it dry

and put it back on

Then you’ll be pure
