Peel back the vines
Attached to my head;
Peel back white onion
Where tears were once shed.
Peel back the skin
With worms hiding beneath;
Peel back the toothpaste
That sparkles brown teeth.
Peel back the label
Reading chicken broth;
Peel back color
Stained on each cloth.
Peel back the fibers
Which bind of a rope;
Peel back all layers
That conceal false hope.
Flopping around
Twisted within outer shield;
Tossed like last breath
When all is revealed.
The Ovi
