Open

Break me open and see what lies underneath me
so many scares and wounds you come to see.
Peel me away layer by layer 
underneath it all im only me
J.E.S.S.I.C.A
who is she to you ?
a mother?
a sister?
a friend ?
a lover?
because to me i lost touch with her
now im just floating
not here nor there 
im everywhere
crazy
fire
out or control
some one please cool me off
put me out
calm me down
help me remember me
