Skin Crawl

Author's Note - This is a poem I wrote for my final project in English. We had to pick a topic and find ten poems that fit that topic, as well as write one of our own. I chose the topic of broken -- which Mrs. Woods thought fit me well. I enjoyed getting to read and write some poetry again, so enjoy my poem! 


You make my skin crawl--
                    pins and needles.

The way you touch me--
                    razors and knives.

You make me feel alive--
                    nails and screws.

The way you hurt me--
                    sharp or dull,
                             you make my skin crawl.
