Thin-Skinned

Poetry
I’m sitting on the edge of tears.

Death by 1,000 paper cuts.

Thin-skinned.

Ankle deep in things I wish I would have said.

Chosen victim,
Fool,
Coward.

Do not be so hard on yourself.

It is brave to feel
And to love.

But it is also stupid.

Ankle deep in all the things I might say one day.

Just don’t fuck up the mood tonight, ok?

Thin-skinned.

See-through.

Blue veins.
Blue brain.

One day, I will step off this tightrope.
