SKIN
So many people have touched my skin My mother at her worst My father after he filled his thirst So many people have touched my skin From abusive attacks That left bruises and scars To a pat on my backs For getting good stars So many people have touched my skin A kiss on the cheek A man when we were alone He called it “Hide and Seek” But if I said “no” he would use the TONE So many people have touched my skin A family taking me in To an office asking where I’ve been So many people have touched my skin A boy with a kiss on my lips Pulling me in by my hips So many people have touched my skin With a warm embrace Many here and gone without a trace So many people have touched my skin Head to Toe I must know How many people have touched your skin?
