Sleep naked for a living--
Stay open.

I've told you again, but still you forget
how beautiful you sound, or seem,
when you wash away your fears and become
nothing.

Nothing at all.

Fire up-- Take flight-- Take notice:
We are here for more than one reason,
more than one lifetime,
more than one chance to get this right.

So,

Stop-- Step-- Breathe:
I have this little book in my hand with a few things to remember.
Honest, personal, but open--
read it if you want to--
my mind, my life has nothing to hide,
nothing to be ashamed of.

This is just me,
wearing a handful of your old clothing,
especially proud of what I have today.

Just trying to find out what it takes to be--
to be beautiful, to be good,
to be raw.
