I will show you the skins I have shed
Left in the grass as I have crept away
They are proof that I have lived.
Skin one: docile child
Skin two: obedient adolescent
Skin three: scholar masked in niceness
Skin four: stunning career girl
Skin five: charming child-mistress
Skin six: loving wife
Skin seven: marvellous mother
Skin eight: admirable Christian
Skin nine: heroic saviour of abandoned children
Skin ten: nervous breakdown
Skinned alive!
