Chimerical Tendencies

Rapacious glancing at my own echo,  The allure of a mirrors smooth sheen.  Apprehension clouding each glance,  Grasping for insight,  Others perceptions of   That fusion of features.  A glassy gaze probing  External divulgence of inner chaos.  Painting eyes wide and lucid, injecting  Amicable animation into agitated lips,  Unfurling the frowning brow.  Stepping into rhino thick skin,  Nurtured conspicuously for the world,  Perfectly crafted to encase the jellified interior.  Knitting together my ambiguous bones,  Knotted with a seething mass of arteries and veins,  Vessels pumping the corrosive yellow  Bile of irrational thought,  The acidic burn of jealousy  Surging to the aneurysm of my brain.  The skin buffed as a bubble,  Its lustre enabling humanity to skim the surface,  No friction upon which to catch,  Nothing to prolong scrutinizing gazes  lest they unpick the stitching,  Unable to stem the haemophiliac oozing of  Desperation.
