Human Skin

I need to get out of
This body
So weak, full of fears and emotion
Sensitive body
This is not a machine
This is flesh, so weak...
And there is this part called "heart"
What is it good for?
Meant to be broken
Beating in despair
Can hold so much pain, so much anger
This is terrible!
I need to get out of here
I am trying to escape
There must be an exit
There is something crawling in my skin
That seems to be cracking
And this face looks so pale
Like this body is about to faint
They saw red lines around my neck
Scars and cuts on my wrists
They judged me, but cannot understand
Cutting deeper, wide open,
Is the only way out
Is how I can escape to be free.
I need to break free
Human skin
Is hard to live in.

Sometimes I wonder Just how much could change in only a couple of weeks And how the hell it got to be the way it is now Do you ever think about the times we shared?

Sulfur of Fireworks - Short Story

I sip my coffee as I wait for my profiteroles to arrive. I have been waiting for them more than I judge necessary, but I don’t feel like complaining or being bitter today. The day is being nice and I don’t want to ruin it. I am in a small coffee shop that I discovered in one of my many walks through the city. I was told the little and hidden places are the best ones, and I agree with that. Except when they take forever to bring your food. The profiteroles finally arrive, the apologetic face of the waiter instantly fading away as soon as he sees my smile. Don’t get used to it, friend. It is not a custom of mine to smile at strangers. Unless they bring me food. I eat slowly, appreciating their flavor and the warmth of the coffee. It is black and bitter, the way I like it. The small coffee place is located in a street with a funny name not so far from downtown. I don’t think many people know this place. The advertisement is not very flashy, you would only find it if you knew
