Skin

Skin that glistens after a fresh layer of cocoa butter.

Skin that can stretch and create the life of another.

Skin that’s been chastised, abused, and ignored.

Skin that heals after being cut by a sword.

Skin you think is beautiful, skin that glows like honey.

Skin that was once raped, shipped and sold for money.

Skin you envy, and continue to imitate.

Skin one of kind, skin you cannot emulate.

Skin you want to touch,

Skin you want to love. 

Skin you want to kiss.

Skin impossible to miss.
