Raw

So here I am in the raw
teetering from tall then small.
Maybe pretty or maybe somewhat not
no makeup because time did not allot. 

Can you love me first like this?
Al natural, camouflaged dismissed. 
Will you feel the same deep way?
If I'm scared will you stay?

If I'm silent can you understand?
No words on my tongue can land. 
Can you meet me middle ground
with no disguise to hide a frown. 

Will I be able to be me?
The sexy, ugly , broken, free?
Can you take the goodt with bad?
Or will you leave if tears are sad

Can you love me open hug?
Engulf me, no secret smug?
Will I feel when I'm away
Security when doom might way?
