Thick skin
Oh how I prayed to have it
So that their words won't get to me
So I don't break down in tears
Thick skin
I worked so hard to develop it
Pretending to not care about it all
Plastering a 'meh' look on my face
Thick skin
When I thought I had finally developed it
Something horrible happened
And I realized that I never did develop
That thick skin after all
