Splitting the skin

Why do I feel like I'm stuck in my body
Waiting to grow
Dying to break free
Yearning to get away

My soul feels like it's beginning to swell
My heart is shrinking away
Its as if I'm slowly being swallowed to wards hell
And I'm only one step closer to breaking out of my skin

Whether they are naturally made
or self inflicted
with the help from a blade
My soul will break free through my splitting skin.
