Within the Skin

Within the skin

Oh, underneath your skin

Lies your true face

Silent as a whisper

Delicate as a flower

Embraced by your shadow

Darkness is your comfort

Waiting to come further


Society judges you

Not by the inside

But the skin you wish to peel off

Society defines you

Not by who you are

But what you are

Show your true self

But too many eyes scare you 

Pulling the strings

In their own ways

Society controls you

To be what they want you to be


Everything crumbles too fast

You burst like dusts

Confuse of who you are

How should you live?

When you are not free

Would you do what they say?

Or would you choose to be you?


But in the midst of war

A tiny voice whispers

A voice that lingers

In the back of your mind

Someone's waiting

Someone who's falling endlessly

Someone who's praying

To get out of your shell

To come out from your skin

From the bottom of the darkest pit

Who's broken and weeping

But still living and not dead

A tiny voice whispered

"Be who you are

Be the person who writes his/her own story

Be the person that doesn't need to be good enough for others

But be the person who loves him/herself no matter what they say."


Stop waiting, start living

The light is where you go to

Embrace your flaws

Be strong, be brave

Scream your name

And let the world hear you

Oh, underneath that skin

It's just you, within that skin.
