Skin

A lot of teenagers suffer from bullying. A lot of girls feel that they aren’t pretty enough, that they’re fat, that they aren’t good enough. I was one of those. Even now, I am, although I’m not a teenager.

If there was one thing I wish I had when I was battling depression and bullying it’s this song. Skin by Sixx:AM

The lyrics, the melody, the overall mood it sets. If I had this song back then I think it would have helped a lot. So this is why I’m sharing it with you.

Sixx:AM released This Is Gonna Hurt last year. Skin is the last track and may just be the most powerful.

“’Cause they don’t even know you, all they see is scars, they don’t see the angel, living in your heart…”

I shared this song with my mom before Christmas. She cried. The first time I heard it, I cried. Below is the song with the lyrics accompanying it. I hope you enjoy.
