skin

I have never been

Comfortable in this skin

 

This skin

That has your blood

Flowing beneath it,

That covers the hands

You gave me-

Which is why I, too,

Destroy everything

I touch

 

But this skin

Does not belong

To you

 

This skin

Is a participation trophy,

A reminder

That I was was there

That I persevered

Through every game

You made me play

 

I am learning to be

Comfortable in this skin

So you can never

Claim it

Again
