Go Ahead Touch Yourself

Updated on April 24, 2013

Yes Give Yourself A Pinch Or A Squeeze

I just realized after all these years I don't even know my own body

Unless I get a cut or a bruise my body is dressed and undressed

Unnoticed in every way

Yes on occasion more wrinkles have come to my attention

Those dark circles under my eyes in the morning seem to be permanent

The hair that use to be on my head is on vacation and isn't coming back anytime soon

These are just a few things that maybe I didn't want to see

But I realized I never really took a close look at my own hand

Look at the shape and size and the veins and the texture of my own skin

It has been years that I have really seen my body in the mirror

I know it's me and I haven't changed much or have I

Wow I have more freckles than I thought

Here it is we are all made wonderful by Gods design

Not to appreciate every unique shape of our own heads

Face, neck and arms

This might seem seem a little strange

Even for me

But I realized I don't even know me

I see the old battle scars

They just don't go away

I remember when I did that

Our bodies are always changing and if you are like me

You kind of look but don't see

Well I have noticed the scale get tipped in the wrong direction

I keep saying to myself it's only a scale

It isn't that accurate anyway

Maybe it's broken even though I know it's not

I should try to firm up those stomach muscles

Oh I remember when I was going to have those great abs

It wasn't long until I said there is always next year

The years passed by as I gained a little flab on my thighs

Yes I didn't realize my toes were so far away

It felt like another galaxy and I don't have to go there

I do know it only has one moon

As for those stiff knees rub them and their o.k.

I never noticed I have very little skin on my elbows

I'm all bone

I have few long eyebrow hairs that keep growing

They look like lobster tenicles

Out come the scissors and I trim those nose hairs

I think I have seen enough for one day

Another scar on my forehead

Where did that one come from

It looks like I have been through the battle zone

Then there are my feet

A little rough skin around my big toes

It's a callous from those darn socks that slide

Then I still have a piece of wood in my left cheek

From when I played baseball and sat on the bench

I was eleven

Another player pushed me and a splinter of wood suddenly disappeared

You know where

Never to be seen from again

Well I would like to end on a happy note

I'm still here after all these years

That deserves a clap or at least one big cheer
