Scratch Me

Scratch me

Scratch the surface

See the marks

your fingers leave.

The layer underneath,

is it gold

or lead?

Scratch me

Peel me apart

Unravel me and sew me back together

Watch the stitching come undone.

Consider me

Do you like what you have discovered?

Scratch the surface of my soul

For that is as far

as you can go.
