Naked and Exposed

                      For $1,000 to my education they want to know who I am. I'll tell them, as long as I get to write unfiltered as well. Keep in mind, this is not how I normally write. I just only felt it fit to write as unfiltered as I'm suppose to express myself to be.....From the bottom to the top I will now untwine. Take the polish off my toes, unshave my legs, strip off the cotton Hanes underwear, release my stomach, unhook my bra as it clunks softy to the ground. Take the polsih off my nails ,unshave my arms, wipe off my eyebrows, wipe off my eyeshadow, wipe off my mascara and eyeliner, unbraid my hair, and put it back in the package to return to the store across the street from the car wash and next to the liquor store. I am naked and exposed to you now. Nothing is shy or hidden. Nothing is defining me as a person or tying me down to earth and societal conformities. I am free and without it all, I feel more alive and the words I write have power and strength like the natural earth we embrace. Embrace the true you, embrace the flaws that are your perfections and distinctions. No filter. Let everyone see and hear the power you hold that is no filter.     ......
