i'm falling away from myself away from who i used to be. arid skin cracked and torn. i peel it away. a change for the better to harness the strength and rise more powerful. now more powerful than ever. a decrepit self once animate now abandoned and left to rot. nothing to be salvaged nothing to be saved. now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist. pursue what may never come. releasing demons and banishing them to the depths of bloody memories and regrets. the outer shell is decomposing releasing a new upgraded self. bleeding ink reveals the price of expansion. push it down hold its hideous face below the water watch
