Snake

By SMR
It seems the more I try to hide my flaws the worse I view them at nightfall
When I’m alone, with nowhere to go
How am I supposed to go on?
To live, laugh and love?
When I feel so appalled at the mere sight of me
The mere thought of what hides beneath what shields me from being seen
Legs covered to my feet,
Long sleeves to conceal my past misdeeds,
In dark hues to not reveal the blood when it seeps
Anything to lessen being seen, to slim my physique
If only this cap I wear to hide my face could hide my shame

I wish like a snake
I could shed this skin
With it my past and my sins
But I’m bound to this cage
Contained and afraid
There is no absolution
This is my fate, to bear this shame

So I wear clothing like armor
Protection from being discovered
To conceal that I’m just a coward and the insecurities I have engraved on me
That flow through my body, flood my brain and feed my self hate

I wish like a snake
I could shed this skin
With it my past and my sins
But I’m bound to this cage
Contained and afraid
This is karmic retribution
There is no absolution
This is my fate, to wear this shame

I bear the blame like I bear myself
Whenever I look at myself it feels like it’s the worst thing I have ever seen
I drown in shame every day I am confined inside this body
I get the urge to tear off this skin
Every day I lose more and more of me
I just feel so disgusted by what I see
I am being consumed by my insecurities
The hate for them and myself
There is just too much rage and pain
I just never improve so all I ever do is lose

I wish like a snake
I could shed this skin
With it my past and my sins
To be free from my mistakes and my regrets
But I’m bound to this cage
Contained and afraid
This is retribution
There is no absolution
This is my fate, to bear this shame

I want to stop feeling disgusting, ashamed and worthless
Just what even is my purpose
When I’m just helpless and my shame knows no end
I’ve pleaded for help because I can’t seem to be able to do it myself
But no one can help me out of this body
Maybe this skin I am forced to wear has come for revenge because I never treated it well
A manifestation of my sins etched onto my body
Karmic judgement for what I did
I didn’t appreciate what I had been given

Now I wish like a snake
I could shed this skin
With it my past and my sins
To be free from my mistakes and my regrets
But I’m bound to this cage
Contained and afraid
This is retribution
There is no absolution
This is my fate, to bear this shame
