Skin - Assemblage 23

Identity sometimes seems fleeting

An ever-changing tapestry

But at its heart is the foundation

The very essence of our being

Shed your skin

Cast off your chains

Feel the sun upon your face for once

And wash away the pain

Shed your skin

Be who you are

Unencumbered by the weight

Of hiding every little scar

At times the self seems in transition

A mere projection on a screen

But what happens when you turn the lights on

And things are not as they once seemed?

Shed your skin

Cast off your chains

Feel the sun upon your face for once

And wash away the pain

Shed your skin

Be who you are

Unencumbered by the weight

Of hiding every little scar

Who we are is always changing

A never-ending course of growth

But deep inside there is a pillar

Deep inside there is a soul

Shed your skin

Cast off your chains

Feel the sun upon your face for once

And wash away the pain

Shed your skin

Be who you are

Unencumbered by the weight

Of hiding every little scar
