Analysis of Skin



Darling, do not tell me that you are more beautiful with those drawings on your skin. You've convinced yourself that  they mean so much to you, and no one can even begin to understand, but   I want you to know that   the real beauty  of an individual is more than simply  skin deep.  That is why the ink on your skin does not impress me.  Everyone has stories

and scars  -I

just choose not to wear mine on the outside.
