Pain In Our Skin Poem by duke perry abrokwa

Pain In Our Skin



Looking through the mirror
Wondering who or what i see
Obviously I see no one than me
but really not me I see
it is the decorated version of me

Wrapped up with beautiful dark skin
Skin all around to cover up my pain
cover up my nakedness and shame
Skin not letting you see my sins but skin

Deep beneath the beautiful black skin
Is the cover up of the pains and sin
that flows through my mind and veins
I am a broken soul walking in disguise skin

We conceal our identity with the smile on our face
some do it with concealers and make up on our face
like they are the most blessed on the earth surface
The epitome of grace
Posting Photoshop pictures the edited version of us.

We all men and we all hurting
We have emotions,
joy and pain resides in the same skin
It's hurts but beautiful
I guess that make us humans.

so the next time i ask you
how are you doing,
let me see deep beneath your skin.
