i’m peeling away
at these layers
like a sunburned
baby who
played to long
at the beach
my skin is pale
white and flaky
i’m the oldest boy
the drunk
smarter than you know
but i’ll run away
hold it in
die within
but i dont
fear writing
it down
with different
names and
different places
attached
same meaning
if it meant
anything at
all
you
never knew
me
cuz i never
let you in
you’d get lost
within
the layers
anyway
