the bleak feeling
has made me
retreat
so far
that i have turned
inside out
internalized
so fiercely
that the internal organs
have extroverted
to relieve themselves
from the pressure
my heart
compressed
to diamond
as the seething need
to belong
makes ownership
another tricky gambit
in the lost and fondled
my daily attire
the soggy cardboard cutouts
in the high fashion
of lower class
default
