The Skin We Wear

Folder: 
Just a thought!

Who's to say why we wear fake skin,

Is it pain from the past, is it something within?

What has engaged us to falsely pretend,

Are we always afraid, is our skin just too thin?

We hide behind walls to keep us secluded,

From past complications our fears have eluded.

Someday all the shadows will come to an end...

And a brighter tomorrow will bring us new skin.

Much liked Mr Deep

Rhinoceros skin is what is needed to survive the onslaughts from unwarranted people.And false pretense er well okay for actors but in real life a strict no no ... Just a thought exuded from a hollow mind .. Off to bathe & lunch. Enough botheration to postpoems.. Wish you all happiness Mr Deep
