paper skin
my friend the artist,she draws on everything.
she's delightfully good and loves to show me her paintings.
but one day her parents took her pencils and paintings away.
not being able to draw anymore brought her great pain.
she would call me sometimes,we'd talk on the phone.
I was relived when she told me she,still paints and draws all alone.
I asked her to show me one.
"when were alone"she told me
my friend the artist she's such a tease.
I was horrified when she stood up and pulled down her sleeve.
scarlet red marks carved intricatley into her pale skin
"see" she said "now I'm an artist from the outside and in"
I tried to smile but my body went cold
every single mark a lie I was told.
I did not want her to harm herself.
so I let harm me,eyes open and teary.
now I'm an artist from the outside and in.
I hope everyone's loves it as much as she does.
I just lift my sleeves you'll see my new paper skin.
