Thicker Skin

Weak Brittle snap in two emotional cry baby cry no sun just rain dwelling on the pain nobody hurts but me I must be unique but what I realized is that I've yet to reach my peak I must gain understanding with age I find No one is without pain I grow a thicker coat with each rain the cold won't last always depression may simmer at the surface when you feel that everything is hopeless It's far from a diagnoses Sometimes things change friends may stray families may break but I must not break with this thicker skin I learned to love myself in this skin. No matter the circumstances Yes mistakes happen people hurt you and tradgdies occur But I won't let this pain defer me from where I need to be. Which is happy.
