help me

you'd been pacing back and forth for hours now 

every step you took you got faster 

faster and faster and faster and faster 

until you were a blur 

then you stopped 

and you just stood there and stared 

you'd been degloved 

by yourself

the smell of you was overwhelming 

dark, muddy, grainy rot 

"that's what I am" you thought

"I'm shit"

and shit isn't worth anything 

so you looked to your left 

what if someone stood there

looking at you 

what if someone had empathy

but there was nobody there 

you didn't care, why would anyone else 

then you blinked and

everything was white now 

but each time you blinked 

there was more gray 

and there was more black 

now you were in a world of TV static

now it was all white again 

you looked to your right

there was a mirror there now 

you saw your body 

it was back, but it was deformed

you didn't react

the smell was still there 

then you saw your eyes 

eyes whose feelings even Goya 

would fail to capture 

so you ran away 

you always run away
