integument

"Integument" means my skin
It's hard to imagine a worse-sounding word for what it is 
My outer layers 
Adorned but unarmored 
Mostly soft but rough in parts

Poets yammer on about the feelings deep inside
But what about the middle feelings
Brackish, where rivers meet oceans

And the fish that can live in both
Their integument grew scales
