16.1

My face is a shell
and my brain is starting to swell
and the corners of my mouth are filling with
barnacles so I can't shout
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?"
but I guess I had it coming.

I'm crying
aging
drying
dying
trying to scrape off this coat
of shit
lying here without a hope
of fitting in
there's no way I'll break free
so I guess I'll just let crustaceans eat me

attaching to my eyes and thighs and poking, bulging out my sides
I'll toughen up
I'll stay right here
You'll never lose me
have no fear

whenever you feel like a laugh
or if you just want to kick my ass again
just crack me open
no matter what I'm still your friend.
just crack me open.
so we can pretend this never happened.
