This side of my skin

Is different than other people's.

This side of my skin

Has scars and bullet holes

That no one else knows about

Except me.


This side of my skin

Hides my secrets

And boils my blood.


This side of my skin

Is where I go to hide.

No one can find me here

Because even I can't find myself.


This side of my skin

Is my own empire,

Built of bricks and stones

That may crumble at my touch.


This side of my skin

Is pale and feeble.

I hope it remains untouchable now.

I hope I learned from my mistakes...

Yet I keep going back.


This side of my skin hides my pain.

What does yours hide?
