Skin Memory

My skin is splitting at the seams
  Too tight
  Too broken
  Too rigid
          …Too tight

My skin is splitting at the seams
   Swelling with the weight of expectations
   Memories, far too heavy for it to harness
   People, far too crude for it to contain

My skin is splitting at the seams
   Collapsing under the power of possibilities
   And all those untold stories I tell myself
             …about myself

My skin is splitting at the seams
Sans warranty
Sans return policy
Sans damages

Such poor packaging for a person
