Piece by piece, onto the ground they fell Strip them from me, away from my skin Remove them from my space, the dirt, the shame, the greed Further away from me, to a land I do not care Not to know, not to bare Do not regret that your truth is held People will use you, people will leave People will ignore you, you don't exist Strip them, naked in the lake Green water of mischief, of unworthiness You will drown and they are not there Remove that suit from your body That made you think they cared They don't. Deception. No, they don't.
