Skin
Skin
Unblemished, pure, soft
Rubs against the soft touch of new life
Undamaged, forgiving and at peace
Skin
Scrapes and bruises
Healed by grace and care
The sting of imperfection is felt for the first time
Skin
The first cut
The first sting of hate
Animosity and greed
Skin
Punches and kicks
Resentment and jealousy
Division of one
Skin
Status and betrayal
Wounds and hurt
Weapons used against a once whole body
Skin
Hope for a better future
Regeneration and love
Cuts, bruises, scars, punches, kicks will all heal
