I was born without a skin. I dreamed once that I stood naked in a garden and that it was carefully and neatly peeled, like a fruit. Not an inch of skin left on my body. It was all gently pulled off, all of it, and then I was told to walk, to live, to run. I walked slowly at first, and the garden was very soft, and I felt the softness of the garden so acutely, not on the surface of my body, but all through it, the soft warm air and the perfumes penetrated me like needles through every open bleeding pore. All the pores open and breathing the softness, the warmth, and the smells. The whole body invaded, penetrated, responding, every tiny cell and pore active and breathing and trembling and enjoying. I shrieked with pain. I ran. And as I ran the wind lashed me, and then the voices of people like whips on me. Being touched! Do you know what it is to be touched by a human being!

This is my skin, and it's thick.
This is not your skin. Yet you are still under it.

Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain

Your skin
Where do I begin?

No one is black. No one is white. No one is red. No one is yellow. No one is brown. Those are the colors of paints, not people. We are skin colored. We all have the color of human skin. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to control you through the divide-and-conquer technique. You have heard of that, haven’t you? If you haven’t, you need to wake up and figure out who the real enemy is, and it’s not some other poor slob with a slightly different variation on the infinitesimally fine multidimensional spectra of hues that our skin organ is capable of producing.

My skin felt tight, so I cut around the edges. The next day, she sewed it back together; she sewed it so much tigher.

And that mask became so easy to put on,
it seemed to come and go without much thought, didn't it?
And how easily your skin became a
tight, prickly form of shame that you were sewn into.

“
Most of all, I want to write on your skin with the tip of my finger, printing one capital letter at a time on the sloping vellum of your back. I want you to guess the message being written on your flesh as children do in summer at the beach, to feel the shape of every letter being traced upon your body-- oh, ideal reader-- to read with your eyes shut tight, kneeling in the sand, facing the open sea.

His entire body had you planted to the wall; his face so close you couldn't look at him without going cross-eyed. You were positive he could feel your heart rattling inside your ribcage. Your muscles tensed as his lips rained on your neck, growing blossoms of bruises on your skin. It wasn't until a moan sprung from the back of your throat when you realized you'd been holding your breath.

"Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you what's skin deep.
You can't see how your eyelids flutter,
When you're drifting off to sleep.
It doesn't show you what the world sees,
When you're only being you.
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you're loving what you do.
It doesn't capture when you're smiling,
Where no-one else can see.
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean to me.
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin.
And if you think it dictates what you're worth,
It's time you looked within."
~E.h.

You crawl under my skin,
You can control my moves,
But not my thoughts..

Her skin, her smooth soothening flesh vibrating at the blare of the sunlight.
As my golden eyes brimmed with tears, I had to look away.
She wasn't mine anymore,
I had lost her.

I’m sorry I can’t save you from yourself. I’m sorry that I can’t help you like you help me, that I can’t make you happy. I’m so sorry I'm not what you need.
I’m sorry that I am so helpless. I'm especially sorry that you're hurting because there’s nothing worse than seeing you in so much pain, so sad. It hurts me. i loveyou aubrie

she had blue skin
and so did he
he kept it hid
and so did she
they searched for blue their whole lives through
they passed right by- and never knew.

A serpent
Can shed its skin ..
But keep in mind
my friends,
it still is, and always will be,
