Naked

Naked Bare and revealed to the world Contours and hinges of your curves Naked to a point of shame No remorse to the imperfections showed Naked not seen through glass Revealed truths to its history of handling Told stories encrypted on the skin No colorful paint explains it better Historic traumas laid out for glow Baring fruit to the beholder No clothing for the famished body Unhidden ways of life Naked I bared myself for you Only for you to behold the imperfections Lying on the ground blending my skin Here I am no lye to what you see My name sad out loud with pride Skin color not a prerequisite Naked to your world and mine Open to my ways of life.

bravo, a wonderful write, with some fresh line. No clothing for the famished body Unhidden ways of life Naked I bared myself for you Only for you to behold the imperfections Lying on the ground blending my skin
