Inside Out - Weeping Wound

I’m inside out

No one cares

I’m inside out

No one’s there

23 years in a cage

My sentence etched to skin

Displays the scenes my illness made

Calloused like a widow’s feet

Following a god, she doesn’t believe

As if communal wine could replace

The bitter love of a man she HATES

Desecrated by the hands I trust —

I feel so alone whenever I’m touched

As if the fear of seeming dull

Was enough to never

Stop

I stumble through my genes

My mouth: a flow of disgrace

Should I be ashamed of the blood or the drink?

I think

I think I wasted my mind

Ever worrying about my time

It fades intrusively —

My insides are out for all to see

I can’t see anything

I’m inside out

No one cares

I’m inside out

There’s no one fucking there

I’m inside out

No one cares

(no one cares)

I’m inside out

(I'm inside out)

There’s no one there

There’s no one there
