Skin And Bone

​

Between the skin and bone

is where amazing things take place

an ever changing masterpiece

that shows up on your face

​

Ideals of others, judgement, pain

between the skin and bone

resonate through every vein

and every thought we own

​

Virtue is an inside force

have patience on the path

there, between the skin and bone

comes beauty from the wrath

​

Within our hearts we search ourselves

'tis there we stand alone

and there, a brand new masterpiece

between the skin and bone
