Flayed From Your Body
Bear your soul
Leave it open
In a stark and naked world
Where to do so
Leaves you vulnerable
To attack from others
And when they come
To injure you
It is difficult then
To trust these ones
Who stab and claw
As the flesh is flayed
From your back
And the wounds made
Never heal again.
