Exposed, stripped bare;
Why do I care?
Years and years,
So few tears.
Protect and preserve,
Never had the nerve
To feel pain;
What was there to gain?
Frightening, why would you?
Open up to what is true.
Unwelcome reality,
The way to sanity.

Exposed, stripped bare;
Why do I care?
Years and years,
So few tears.
Protect and preserve,
Never had the nerve
To feel pain;
What was there to gain?
Frightening, why would you?
Open up to what is true.
Unwelcome reality,
The way to sanity.
