This side of my skin
It's scarred and bruised
It's blemished and new
So when I tell you
I'm not okay,
Please don't blame me
For that
My skin has been through so much
My body has been torn apart
Ripped into, my flesh has been torn
Cut, scarred, and poked
I'm a part of this strange situation
The part of me that tells you I'm okay
It's lying, always lying
Never believe a word it says
This side of my skin,
It's been bruised and scarred
But I hope someday,
Someone will be kind to it,
Kiss it, love it
And cherish me like I crave to be
