My Clothes Are Off

for many years ive worn thousands of clothes
the truth about me no one really knows
its easier that way, to just hide within
to put on a front and a silly little grin
keeping a high head when deep down its low
not one false move to allow my true to show
judgemental faces 
in all these akward places
its all become a game
but never the same 
i strip the clothes that i hide behind
going into the world head first but blind
no more will i hide
the things that bother me deep inside
not wearing my heart on my sleeve 
just allowing myself to be free
im naked to the world
like a precious pearl
no more fear of the unknown
my time to shine and show 
how ive grown....
