i’m leasing my guilt for free

the air here doesn’t cling
to every inch of my skin
when i’m alone

my skin has trapped in
different shades of the sun’s color
causing me to feel dreary
from within the parts of me
that have created
what you see
and on a daily basis i strive
to find a canvas big enough
to paint these wonderful colors on
but i’m worried that i won’t
based on all of my ideas
that seem impossible to feed
