–

I want to be everything or nothing;

Remember me forever or forget I ever tried.

–

Too much for this body, too big for this soul.

To be someone else, something else,

–

I crave to crave.

Insatiable hunger.

Salivating every second.

–

My eyes burst, my skin peels away,

heart and gut tear, nerves lacerate.

–

I am out of my skin suit, free into the world.
