I’m naked. Exposed for the world to judge And critique And mold. I’m naked. Naturally, in my ****** I am ashamed, Embarrassed, Red-faced. I try to conceal myself, But my efforts are futile. The parts of me that were most private Are no longer. I’m naked. You drape me with invisible lavious robes, You try to paint the illusion of modesty and security. You gaslight me into thinking a dress of air is a magnificent feat. But I am not the gullible “emperor” I once was. The illusion has crumbled before it had the chance to stand. I’m naked. But that only means that they see all my surface; Not the inside, Never the inside. For that, they’d have to cut me open Pull apart my guts and bones Look behind my eyes, See what really lies within. That they’ll never see, They’ll never see me. (Already, they’re seeing too much.) I’m naked.

******
Why did I get the unlucky gene? I didn't want my words to be seen By your abandoning eyes Which were my demise I found a way to make my peace Write it all down, my thoughts in place Now that you know what I have done You'll make **** sure that I'll be gone But we both know, I have a weapon So let me be, my head's unstable I won't tell her what really happened Behind her back, while we all suffered. These words are all that's left for me, Just let me be, just let me be.
