My Skin

I see forest,
Stars in the sky at night
I
I am dreaming,
I dream as a child
When I
When I was allowed,
When all
When all was simple
When nothing
Could penetrate
My skin

I see youth,
When frowns
Were stranger than smiles
Unworn faces
Full of life,
Not worry
I
I long to return,
And I
I want to still wonder
I want nothing
To penetrate my skin

We
Were younger then
Each day that came,
More we would grow
But we
Are older now
And each day that comes
Takes more of my life away

Unscramble,
The whirlwind
Of thought in my head
Competition forced into
Deceit that trusting allows
Rid me this struggle
Let me grow
In a world of childhood innocence
Where nothing can penetrate my skin

Now we
We were younger then
Each day came,
More we would grow
But we
Are older now
And each day that comes
Takes more of my life away

I can't explain
All the love I've had in my life
And how sometimes I couldn't feel it
For picturing it gone
Love rescue me now
Hold me tight so that I never forget
And nothing can penetrate my skin
