Snake

Peeling,
Itching,

This skin that I'm in

Splitting,
Ripping,

This flesh I've grown to hate

Morphing,
Contorting,

Into something new

Losing my limbs,
Losing my hair and nails,

After this,
Will I finally be beautiful?

Shedding the scales.
Shedding the tail,

Gaze in the mirror...
Same face,
Same body,

Just a new wrapper.
