Perhaps if I rip off my literal skin, my figurative skin will soften up enough to let you love me.

Because whenever I start to remove my armour I always get kicked in the stomach. As if I didn't already have trouble breathing.

But maybe this time will be different, or maybe it'll suck just as bad as the last time I lifted my helmet.

I guess I'm supposed to get over it though.

So I will keep both skins on and smile to the ghost painting on my face.
