Letter To My Skin

I was born with you You have travelled this road of life Right here with me You stood by as I would bruise you I would leave you marked Without a care in the world I just did not realise this That you hurt too That you are important too And most of all You are not a part of me It is I I am a part of you I walked around with you Weathered storms The heat, all four seasons You have always been close to me Close as breathing I just realised late That you are important too And most of all You are not a part of me It is I I am a part of you No one has been as close to me as you all People would touch you Perceiving they were touching me If it were not for you I would surely die For you cover my being You enclose me You envelope me I never realised I took you for granted Thank you for caring Thank you for holding all of me together And most of all Thank you for being a part of me Thank you for letting me Be a part of you And if ever I forget you again Make it known May I look at you and see That you are important too And most of all You are not a part of me It is i I am a part of you I will never be without you In life we are always together And in death, we will be together A part of each other Thank you for carrying me through the years Sincerely, Me
