eating away at yourself
have you ever considered how as we chew on the dead skin on our lips we're biting away at our old selves literally chewing on our own flesh that we've deemed useless, superfluous have you ever considered how as we scrub ourselves down in the shower washing away the dirt and grime of the day we wash away small fragments of ourselves down into the drain along with all our hopes and dreams our dead skin trickles down with the soap suds, swept away, we are left squeaky clean and yet also, slightly reduced as we pull and tug at our skin does it also mirror how we seem to want to stretch out of ourselves rearrange our inclinations, like how we attempt to redo our faces, piling on the make up, powder, foundation never quite happy with what we were born with, pin pricks to pimples, squeezing, tweezing away our features leaving much less to be desired have you ever considered, how much of cannibals we are, eating away at ourselves, more so than we do others bit
