Deep Beneath My Skin©

By Felina Silver Robinson

This skin I’m in hides the truth

About where I’ve been

What I’ve seen

And what I’ve done

You’ll never know any of it unless I choose to let you in

This skin I’m in only protects my vitals within

But it cannot protect me from all that I feel

All that’s been done

Nor all that I’ve seen

The scars I carry are too deep to describe

I can only hide the emotional ones

But the visual ones

I’m sure you see

Do you wonder what I’ve seen

and where I’ve been

I wouldn’t wish my past on any friend

My only hope now

Is for someone to love

That can rescue me from my haunting memories

hidden deep beneath my skin
