Strip Me Down Bare: Who am I?
Location
Who am I?
I am the seconds in between breaths where the thoughts creep in
I am the smile in the sunshine with the windows down in my jeep
I am the country song that reminds you of home
I am the rap song that makes no sense
I am the worn out Beatles shirt that my sister gave me
I am the girl who loves animals more than humans
I am the moments when you can’t help but cry for no reason
I am the rainy day and long walks in the fog
I am your favorite face and your laugh that wraps you in a tight embrace
I am the granter of your second chance—again and again
I am the smell of old books and intellect
I am the sleepy morning yawns and the faint smell of puppy kisses
I am the early morning dew in the mountains
I am the waves of the beach crashing upon the shore, demanding an awakening
I am the kitten paws in your face when you wake up on Monday morning
I am doors slamming, screaming, yelling, all packed into deafening silence
I am the faint smell of roses that passes you in a crowd
I am your dreams
I am waiting for you in all these things
