It's All Me


My face is peeling away.  Someone asked me what I left all over my chin.  I said, it’s just me. 

I have to go to the grocery store today but I want to wear a ski mask.  But that would be weird, right?  If I were dressed all regular but had on a ski mask?   People might think I was there to rob them.  I would probably try to smile at them reassuringly through the ski mask and that would probably freak them out more.  Ski masks are unsettling in non-ski situations.

Seriously though.  I want to wear one to the grocery store.  I feel very elephant man.  You know, because my face peeling away and all.  I know if I wore a ski mask I would bring more attention to myself than if I didn’t wear one.  Sigh.  I will just have to keep everyone at a five foot distance from my face.  I guess the checker who will ring up my groceries and possibly the bagger will be the only two people to be disgusted with my face today.  I wonder who they are.  Lucky them.

I just realized in starting to look fucking old as hell. Like my face is melting off. I wish my face would peel away and there would be a newer one underneath.

I know how you feel with this. I have really bad eczema on my hands from time to time, and people get so horrified by it, like it's a flesh-eating virus they're going to catch. Or because I have it because of something I did, some dirty habit that I'm concealing or some shit.
