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
