Warsan ShireSometimes it feels like someone else is wearing my body.
About This Quote
The concept of someone else wearing one’s body is a common metaphor used to describe the feeling of being possessed by another person. This sense of possession is often accompanied by the feeling that it is your body but not your own. Most often, you will feel that there is something wrong with your own body no matter how hard you try to fix it. Your body might be different than the way you remember it.
