Maudlin Tears
The first time you see yourself
You cry
Torn between bewilderment
Flattened by view
All white skin
Pink and spotty
The remnants
Of teenage residue
The hormones on overload
Insanity has come early
So easy to bite
Everyone pisses themselves laughing
When you remove your clothes
Now you never undress in the light
