I've got armor seven layers thick,

but sometimes it feels too thin.

Not always, but occasionally,

there are dents in my skin.

They bruise, turn black and blue

But everything can be concealed.

It may take an eternity,

But wounds can be healed.

Nothing more and nothing less,

Do I expect of my skin.

Because the outside doesn't matter,

What matters is within.

All it does is cover, and protect

But it gets torn and damaged

and it aches and sears with pain

When people get enraged.

So ignore I must,

But it's hard to not listen.

I've got ears to hear

So the tears they glisten.

I wish I was stronger,

But I'm so weak.

I tremble and shiver,

But I'm not afraid to speak.

What we do, is our own right

Cause we've all got a choice.

And our own minds,

But most of all a voice.

So speak up,

Don't let anyone in

Trust no one

Cause your skin is thin.
