skin. Liz's word....i think?

Skin.

When i look down,
all i can see are breasts.
My breasts.

And when i sit,
breasts.
And knees
with old skin.

I want new skin,
I need something to go
with the better version of me.

(and I wouldn't mind a smaller set of breasts either)

Skin
I am a stranger in my own skin.
My feet have had allergic reactions to shoes
and I ended up walking on a pair of zombies.
For 2 weeks.
Never sunburned as a child.
Now I stand out of the shade and
my shoulders scald and blister before I know what hits me.
Someday I will need knee surgery and my
fingers will barely function.
My soul won't really do any one any good by the time I die.
The only thing I can truly rely on is my mind.
