The Thickest Skin

I survived everything that the world could throw at me.

Lost a few teeth, broken the limbs, lost loved ones and family

But I have the thickest skin and the walls go up again, I’ve spent my whole life disappearing.

Take my body, leave me for dead, cup of tea, climb into bed.

Cuts and bruises, worn the shame, lines get blurred who to blame.

For I shall be accountable for I am no fallen angel.

Pick myself up off the floor, for I am a survivor.
