To my Skin... I'm sorry.
By Sapphire-Quartz22 BRONZE
Orange, New Jersey

I have a blade in my hand. A single thought. There are scars on my skin. I treat my skin so unfairly while it still protects me. My skin. My protector. You have been with me...

&ldquo;Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.&rdquo; <br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.
