My Skin

I see forest, stars in the sky at night

I am dreaming

I dream as a child

When I was allowed

When all was simple

When nothing could penetrate my skin

I see youth

When frowns were stranger then smiles

Unworn faces full of life, not worry

I long to return

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

This 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

We were younger then

Each day that came

The 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
