peel the skin for reflection of what you are not
you are not what you want to be
what hurts worse?
tear the muscle and realize your true self
try to find it, you can't, it's not there
crush the bone and dig and dig
you won't find what you are wanting to find
chew on the gristle for a taste of true self
bitter, ruined and rancid by now
digest your wasted life of introspection
for you were not anyone

Good one, dkr.
