Skin in the Game

Susannah Conway's prompt for today

August 3 is

skin.

So I have a question for you.

Can you still be considered comfortable 

in your own skin

if you'd never, ever dare

to dress (undress?) like this

in front of strangers?

If you'd be loath to bare your lumps

and bumps and surgical scars,

your age spots,

your sags and bags

and crepe paper skin to a new romantic partner?

Does being comfortable in your own skin

mean that you're willing to be vulnerable

or so warrior-like that you're invulnerable?

Is being invulnerable

a good thing or a bad thing?

I guess that's more than one question.

But curious minds want to know.
