Are you sitting comfortably in your skin <br />Not too fat <br />Not too thin <br />Not too brown <br />Not too white <br />Not as black <br />As a moonless night <br /> <br />If you want to fit comfortably <br />Into the game <br />You must sit next to skin <br />That’s exactly the same <br /> <br />Don’t imagine that different <br />Or precious or rare <br />Will hold back the jackals <br />Just waiting out there <br /> <br />The jackals are fat <br />The jackals are thin <br />With hideous pasty blemished skin <br /> <br />But the jackals are pack <br />So they’re all right <br />You can hear them shriek <br />On a moonless night <br /> <br />Are you sitting comfortably in your skin <br />Then I’ll begin. <br /><br />Nicolette Turner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/skin-3/
