    There was a person
    who, one day, decided
    to wear their neighbor’s
    skin.

    A new day.
    A new face.
    Begin.

    But once the sun set,
    they found
    they weren’t done
    yet.

    They crept next door,
    peeled back more,
    another neighbor’s
    flesh to store.

    Soon, it wasn’t
    enough.
    They wandered streets
    with quiet feet,
    ripping skins
    from everyone they’d meet.

    One for each moment.
    One for each mood.
    A wardrobe stitched
    from solitude.

    But standing still,
    they strained to recall
    who they were
    before they wore
    them all.
