I'm a shapeshifter

I convince myself I'm one of my demons

Taking pieces from each and every one 

of them and

Attaching them to myself

I walk with ease like you do

Talk with ease like you do

I stare at myself until I'm who I 

want to be

It's just me, 100% me

That's all that's left.

I'm a shapeshifter

I convince myself I'm a bird

I feel the wings break through my

shoulder blades

Painstaking and liberating

In my dreams I fly to the places 

I want to escape to

I react the way I wish I would've

Take things back that I've said

Said things I wish I had the guts to.

I wonder what I'll become next?
