With a touch to my skin,
I feel it,
It pulses through my body,
Underneath my bones,
Those words in my ear make me fall apart,
Why can't I smile?
or just push this embarrassment from the corner of my eyes,
I'm in a box,
with no escape from her eyes,
She knows what I can't say but still pushes me to be her angel,
I can't please you or give you what you want,
I can't love who you need me to love,
These doors are closed with a padded lock and chain,
I'm screaming for the person underneath my skin to be out,
wanting to be free I scratch the doors till my fingers bleed,
I don't want to be stuck here,
I don't want to be held back,
If you touch me,
If you just felt it,
You'd know that underneath my skin,
I'm only human.
