No Skin
When I look at you without your skin,
I see your history,
Your road through time,
Your kindness and your courage,
Your sense of knowing a life’s purpose.
And you should see
My honest wish to understand
The issues set between us,
My determination to help us both
Find a path to reconciliation.
Skin clouds our interactions,
Puts up walls,
Creates misinterpretations,
Causes conflict,
Keeps me from really seeing you
And you from seeing me.
