Peel it off

 I yearn to get out of my skin

To peel it off like an onion

Layer by layer-

To become what lies underneath

The true raw self that is

Afraid of being burnt

By the world's fire

Or hardened by it's ice

I wonder about luring everything 

Into my liking-control

Scared of becoming 

Afraid am pretending 

To be something am Not, a fraud 

I want to peel of my covering

Am exhausted of wanting to be perfect.
