Different skins

 

I appreciate

all the people

that I've ever been.

The different skins

I've worn over the years,

from scared boy

to grumpy teen,

into my lovestruck dreams

of hope between the stars.

I look upon

the lake of

reflective tears,

reminiscing

about walks beside

hidden waterside treats,

away from grim city streets.

 

I think about

all the characters I've been,

the costume changes

in between.

The fear

and the doubt.

A scared boy who looked out

through shaded glass

at the seasons

as they came

then passed.

 

Over the years

you constantly change.

Mindsets become

set a different way,

your skinsuit shapes itself

into the seat you now

absorb yourself in. Your organs

shred cells replacing them,

renewing your body.

To keep things fresh

and clean.

 

You start to see beauty,

instead of all the rubbish

that blocks the view.

The forest view is clearer

now you've taken a step back

to stop the trees from crowding you.

You sway rather than

slouch into a room.

Confidence grows a field

within you, one that still needs

constant maintaining and review,

but for the first time in your life,

this feels like the real you.
