Skin Deep Poems - Poems about Skin Deep

Same team
You and I were separate beings, at the time when you met me. Then I found to my delight, a friendship formed that very night. It’s hard to know, just what could be; if we were working as a team. Not “Team you” and “Team me”. I know you’re...

Different
Same different day, They stare because I don't look the same, another face without a name, I'm betrayed by my appearance the fact I'm rather pale, The tracks that cover my skin give me horns and a pointy tail, I'm covered in spots red and inflamed, the darkness around my eyes makes me appear...

Skin Deep
I do not like the skin I’m in - It’s dotted, dry and wrinkled, Like paper with a reject poem - Once smooth, now sadly crinkled. Each little tap becomes a bruise, A purple blotch, attesting To all the years I’ve spent on earth, A dermal-type divesting. Some freckles, not here yesterday, Have multiplied and scattered.

Black fat cat Pepé on his back got white spots Swinging its tail getting tied up in knots.

I’m in his favorite dress He’s watching me getting undressed Take this body Do what you want Tear it apart Dance with it Play with it Taste it, spit Do what you like Hold it tight Hold it tonight Lean in for a kiss What I feel is bliss The word comes from my lips Kissing in the blue dark Our touch is a spark You’re my favorite color I like to...

Beauty More Than Skin Deep
Tell me something you like about me Is it something I can't see You tell me beauty is more than skin deep So why do these harsh words I keep Telling myself I am weak As I lay again and cry myself to sleep They say we are not the words others say But you find...
