Character Names

I could make just one word
Sing like some exotic bird,
Or train my heart to
Mitigate my howls for attention.
I circle parties to stain my stomach in beer,
I fear I'll abandon hope.
I cannot cry over spilled milk.
What gain must I obtain
Before I am happy with my life,
In this crawling stretch of skin I'm in.
I detect the sin of humanity
In my solar plexus,
So I pull up my diaphragm
To make it squirm and struggle.
To my dismay, it does escape.
What piece of scrutiny
Must I heed, but mutiny,
For it's all I've ever known.
I'll forget who I am with a new mask,
And find that time
Is defiling me.
I'm beguiling myself
Into believing differently.
Identity is truly an amusing place
To lose your mind.
