Painted Scissors

I just want to be me, free to exist,
rest knowing everything inside is seen;
The somber parts also need to be kissed,
if it's love then there is no in between;

Really, can't I simply be who I am? 
Tired of only being half a vision;
Start to feel better in this skin then bam!
Intrusive thoughts offer no solution;

Snipping at whatever doesn't suit you
little did you know it always grows back;
What's bitter will bleed bona fide and true;
It's a vibe when you linger in the black;

Cutting into me I don't need sutures,
do not conform me with painted scissors.
