SKIN
It’s so hard to be in your skin
the actions restrictive and
peace doesn’t come easy
what’s required is a bit of
wayside shedding
ignoring the pieces that shaped you
as they flutter down.

Nice job using the past tense with the word “shaped” . That made the poem for me
Hi Eric! Thank you very much! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
