Something in Common

Inside of you is really me

the me I know I am.

If only I dig deep enough, I'll find her

Why do you make this so hard?

Just let me in, you owe us that much.

That...

...that's not me.

Monster.

What have you done?

How dare you?

Everyone is this way, my way, the way.

Every body a shell around this pearl.

The pearl they told me to have

In the hole they carved out

to accommodate their fingers

their teeth and tendrils.

Let us fix you.
