In silence
I hear music
melancholy melodies
washing gracefully
through ancient corridors,
waves of rhythm
drifting across
gently rolling green.
Exposed
Naked
Vulnerable to insult
With his x-ray vision he saw through my imperfections
And looked into something beautiful.
He saw parts of me I kept hidden.
Things I threw into a box marked shame.
Naked face and naked eyes
I like wearing my own hair
My own face
and my own mind
People call me bold
For stepping out the house plain
Or without a hood
Because they fear the rain
you began to undress me
and as each button of my blouse becomes undone
a sliver of some imperfection slips past
my possessions that once possessed me settle in a pool around my ankles
I don't really feel like writing today.
I'd rather be naked on the ground,
head-to-toe exposed,
so I could really think
and hear the pines rustle.
I would bury my sadness in a funeral mound
Looking into the mirror, society stares back.
Watching my every move, analyzing every inch.
Bite my tongue and hold my words back;
smile with closed lips.
Constrictions; you cannot wear that.
I choose to be Naked.
First went my phone with a burst ,
my luminous guide darkened.
I still don't inhabit my own body.
I am a guest.
I am a spectator
as my meat covered bones
tangle with other vessels
in dark rooms
vomitting languages unknown,
quiet and uncomfortable.
Naked
A word that emphasizes my vulnerability
A word that diminishes my strength
I am stripped
I am lonely
I have no one but myself
I am weak
I am embarrassed
I am lost
When you strip yourself bare before another
You are showing them your physical flaws
You are undressing who you are underneath all the clothes
To be stripped from all that we hide behind.
Looking in the mirror now, you cannot lie
To yourself; to the world
Exposed.
This is who you are, behind society's camoflauge.
Behind the make-up gauze,
When you look at me, tell me what you see.
Do you see me, or are you simply focusing on vanity?
Shakespeare once said that all the world’s a stage,
If only he could see how he prophesized this world of today
