they say no man is an island, but i think i just broke off and drifted into the ocean.

Thick skin.
Smooth and flawless.
Won't you crack and let me bleed?
Poreless.
Non-porous.
Is it safer to be dried-up and numb?
Or would I welcome
the sharp tip of a knife
slitting through these layers?
Splitting open.
The burst of this abscess.
And discharge of my choked-up tears.

This makes me want to study trees and think more about how life is too precious not to ponder upon...
