My Paper Skin

I wondered what it felt like

The hot rock on my skin

But only too soon, i would find, my skin was paper thin.

Reaching slowly, i thought to myself,

"This is a good idea."

But when the lava came towards me,

Intentions became less clear.

I don't know what it felt like,

As i stuck my hand deep within,

See my scar-tissue protected me,

Me and my paper skin.
