I'm thickening my skin
Building my armor
Plates of steel and iron
Coating myself against it all
Protected defended
Impenetrable
No
too much
I won't feel anything
no point
No sensation at all
So I am thickening my skin
With leathers and pelts
stronger skins than mine
Tied closely fitting snugly over me
a newer better improved me
But still yet
I won't be able to move or stretch
Bend or flex
an immobile version of myself
I won't even be myself
So I am thickening my skin
Though I am not quite sure how
I will think it thick
Imagine it tougher
Make it what it needs to be
What I need it to be
Want it to be
For me to be
Who I want to be.
