'NO ONE MAY CALL MY NAME [Bodies & Scar]'

The world happens around me,
battles and shackles,
I choose to skulk in shadows,
I slather myself in cosmetics,
just to hide the scars of life.
‎
Cataract bodies evolve around my skin
with my broken skin,
I envisaged myself in despair,
behold, love deformed me.

My eagles feathers fall with drizzling snow,
Scars of the body and soul exposed,
I walk with shame…
That no one may call my name.
