My Skin

I see forest,

Stars in the sky at night

I

I am dreaming,

I dream as a child

When I

When I was allowed,

When all

When all was simple

When nothing

Could penetrate

My skin

I see youth,

When frowns

Were stranger than smiles

Unworn faces

Full of life,

Not worry

I

I long to return,

And I

I want to still wonder

I want nothing

To penetrate my skin

We

Were younger then

Each day that came,

More we would grow

But we

Are older now

And each day that comes

Takes more of my life away

Unscramble,

The whirlwind

Of thought in my head

Competition forced into

Deceit that trusting allows

Rid me this struggle

Let me grow

In a world of childhood innocence

Where nothing can penetrate my skin

Now we

We were younger then

Each day came,

More we would grow

But we

Are older now

And each day that comes

Takes more of my life away

I can't explain

All the love I've had in my life

And how sometimes I couldn't feel it

For picturing it gone

Love rescue me now

Hold me tight so that I never forget

And nothing can penetrate my skin
