i’m so sick of me
i’m so tired
of always being in my head
i want out
not to be someone else
just not to be
me
for a little while
or ever…
but i’m so rooted
rooted
in who i am
celebrating
my shortcomings & downfalls
crawling about
the labyrinths of my mind
cackling
softly
to myself
cursing
my shortcomings & downfalls
this is who i am
always
in my head
&
somehow
out of my head.

I’ve done exactly one self-portrait (that I can think of at least)…. yours are better.

i think i might be obsessed. there is probably a clinical term (other than narcissist?) for someone who compulsively draws their own self-portrait 😀
