Skin

It tears.

It bruises.

Still, it heals over.

It's rough.

It's smooth.

It's often bumpy.

Still, it looks real.

It's warm.

It's cold.

It's cool.

Still, it's comfortable.

It's light.

It's dark.

It's in between.

Still, we're all human.

Skin.

It's all

what we're 

in.

[Parimal Pratyush]

Absolutely correct and to the point. One that captivates the reader and makes him look at his own skin and feel grateful. To look at others' and respect them. Thank you for such a lovely piece.

You're welcome! While writing it, I wasn't sure if it was making any sense or would sound right...
