Eggshell Skull

Apply to the affected area

as needed, using caution

as repeated application

will cause thinning of the skin.

It’s a fine line between

thick-skinned and scabbing over;

scabbing leads to scarring,

and those scars are damn unsightly.

It’s hard to live with thin skin,

trying to avoid the stones,

the resultant bruising

and breaking down of things.

All you can do is hunker down,

guarding against what might hurt you.
