Uncomfortable Skin

How I lived I do not know. I now look back and wonder how did it go so long? I was weak and afraid. Too scared to open up. Worried my darting eyes would give me away. I would look into the mirror and wonder who was looking back. A guest in my own home, I did perceive. A daily out of body experience was the norm for me. It took many hours of ponderous thought and wishful thinking. Days spent silently fishing for the unknown answers. And one giant leap of hope and faith, that what I felt for you, you felt for me. I now fold it up and store it away, this suit of uncomfortable skin.
