#nakedsoul
My naked soul wanders by the hallway I can hear gossips and see stares by strangers. Can't compete with the society's standards so, I am judged their villain minds. Can't make their eyes full, so I am often pushed to the wall, and telling me that I am a failure. They don't have to remind me, for I know that I am. Now, my nakedness drives me to do something, something that will make them happy my parents will, everyone will. They will all come to this memorial, pretending that they are longing for my existence pretending that they are all suffering for my demise, but I know, it is just a social mask. A social mask that says they'll miss me A social mask that says, they love me.

Naked
Walking in the garden, I stepped onto the grass Barefoot, And revelled in the tingles On the soles of my feet That made me smile. The grass was wet. Absently, I sat myself down And felt the grass in my hands... 'The grass is wet,' I thought, *'It feels nice, cool and peaceful, But water doesn't catch fire...'* *Can the fire inside me burn in serenity? Or will it burn out my peace And c o n s u m e me?*
