The only place I belong is in my skin.

But it gets hard to find where my skin belongs

I know where it has before

And I can envision where it will be

But right now?

You can always tell when your skin doesn’t belong

You can feel it sucking in

Trying to trade places with you

Sometimes it’s easy to tell where it belongs

It doesn’t suck in

It expands out

And fills a room

And it’s hard to tell where yours ends

And theirs begins

Sometimes it’s harder

And you don’t know until you realize

How much space your taking up

You’ve filled the room

And when it laughs and breathes

You do the same

But now?

Maybe right now

In some clothes

And outside my bed

Is a good place to start
