My skin

Psoriasis

Itchy
It has to come off
Nerves
Makes me pick
His look
Only thing to still my hand
Shame
But it’s not my fault
Children
Don’t know to be polite
Disgust
People hide from my face
Disgust
They don’t realize I agree

The artist among us

To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
