Skin

Covers every mammal.

 

Protects us from the bad.

 

Shows us who we are.

 

Wrinkles,

Shows us what the world has done.

Freckles,

How bad our inability to use sunscreen..

Scars,

Maybe from good memories or bad, to show us that they are alive

Tattoos,

Images that says something about yourself or a drunken night

Holes,

Want to show that they are different

 

And yet people think they must have the perfect skin, that the entire world will see your "imperfection"

 

Don't you want people to see your story?
