Tough Skin

Poem inspired by Counting Stars by One Republic

So me,
So worrying
I absorb it all
Tough skin/thick skin
It's oh what I don't have
Young, but I'm not that bold
Wish I could just let things go
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Have to, relax and find my peace
Old, yes but I'm not that old
We'll be counting stars
In the dreams I have
They're beautiful
like a gator
tough skin
like me!
