Naked

Naked

I’m tired of keeping my clothes on

I want to be able to love myself for the skin I’m in

All the bruises and scratches on my body

The weird birthmarks in random places

I want you to see them all

Even the Scars on my forearms

I’ve always been shy, timid, and kept myself covered

I truly feel like this is my time

To show the world all my hurt

My raw emotions

And Unpleasant experiences

Some might call it attention seeking

But I call it therapeutic

Healing is not always easy

And I’ve hit rock bottom too many times to even keep count

I’ve learned through all this madness

That I have the ability to put my vulnerability onto paper

Being vulnerable is frowned upon but in all honestly It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable

I'm tired of keeping my clothes on

I want you to see all of me

I’m tired of hiding back something I know can help others

I’m tired of doubting myself

So here I go

Into the world with no clothes on

We’re all born naked

Might as well embrace it
