Below the Surface

If I scratch the surface,

would I find an itch?

or would I find a chasm

corroded by a bitch

either them be true 

my conscience it doth say

just stick a plaster on it

we'll look another day

I like the photo you posted along with this - it really shows that if you never know what's lurking underneath if you 'scratch the itch' - I can identify with this x
