no ********

strip down to my skin

nothing ******

just lose it all

since i'm in the process of losing it

since all i feel is this vulnerability

might as well leave it on the floor

the jeans,

the shirt,

the bra and the underwear

crumple it up

leave it in a pile

be exactly who you are

**** *** thighs,

let it all rub

let that natural born friction be

nothing to be ashamed

nothing to be shy

nothing to hold back

no clothing to match

no distractions.

 

no itches,

pokes,

just skin,

dry or soft it's just skin

no distractions.

i'm going tolet these freckles stand out

let these ******* stand to that

cold

chill

let my wet hair down

and let its water drip

and slide along my spine

i'm going to focus on that drop

no distractions

i'm going to stand here and be me

all or nothing,

and right now,

it's nothing.
