Nobody noticed

Tonight I am lying all alone on my bed in my foreign home about 14000 kilometres away from what I used to see as home

All I am wearing is lacy cheeky underwear with a push up bra that I bought from a Victoria's secret to make myself feel pretty enough

But underneath that? I am wearing nothing. Nothing but my naked skin. My skin that is covered in bruises and scars yet people call it smooth.

I am covered in layers of skin covering my body to protect me from getting hurt. It protects me from the world and its people...just as long as you stay in your skin, right? Wrong.

Remember how everyone always told you that in order to achieve great things you need to move out of your comfort zone.

Yet here I am. I am all alone. I am not comfortable and there is no one around to comfort me.

Its just my skin that offers protection yet something ass small as a papercut could break it. Yes, my skin is very fragile and was supposed to be handled with care.

Is that not why God put us here? To take care of this oh so wonderful place we destroyed. Thats all on us humans and not even your scarred skin will be able to save you from that.

I tried looking ahead to see my bruised skin healed but I couldn't. I could only see more scars, more bruises, more pain.

Then I realised. Something needs to change. If my skin and I added together to life itself causes pain we should rearrange the equation.

So I take myself out of it and all that will be left is the beautiful and painful world with the last few pieces of my skin...
