Skin


Skin,

Epidermis wrapped around the inner bones

to perform life.

 

Skin,

Barrier to the outer adversaries

Of nature.

 

Skin,

A continuous uncomprehensive

Victimization from

Statistics

Prejudice

Stereotypes

Indifference.

 

Skin,

What humanity favors to judge

Rather than character.
