"Names On My Skin"

I'll never forget
those who have come
and gone.
For I've carved
their name on my skin.

The more they've made it
feel like I was walking
on a rainbow,
the more I wished
I never knew them until it snowed.

The deeper the wound
that they've engraved, 
the darker and visible
their names on my skin are. 

Although it scarred me,
and those aren't so pretty,
They remind me
of the learned lessons
that taught me to live more wisely.

So to those who've made
my skin rough,
Thank you for making me
stronger and tough.
