Skin and Bones

Skin and Bones I am you, you are me We're one in the same. Ashamed is the word that comes to mind; Comes to mind when you hear my name? Without me your nothing but skin. Your literally boneless without me, So why not embrace the you that is me? Why not be at ease with me? You say you are, but not quite all the way there are you? No i am not there yet. I'm quite far from being at ease; Quite far from attaining comfort. Does it suffice to hear the answer? Does it suffice to see, to know that i try? I'm pleased you try but is your 'try' enough? Is your effort sincere? Is your 'try' true?
