My disrobed thoughts,
here they come to play.
My disrobed thoughts
yern to get out everyday.
Until now,
I kept them clothed.
Until now,
My true self,
No one knows.
Always at a distance,
Never too close.
That's the safety rule,
I thought I should know.
If I let you in,
Show you all I can be,
Will you still love me?
Will you want to spend our time,
Laughing away,
Will you still want to hear,
What I have to say?
Are you just hanging
On each perfect word.
What you wanted to know.
What you thought you heard.
Do you think you see
what you know is the real me?
Do you wonder,
Finally?
My life has been spent,
working to please,
Hoping you'd like me
enough to live more candidly.
Always exhausted,
Never true,
Being someone,
So perfect for you.
Now is the time,
To make this change.
To be the me
I always knew me to be.
For if I wait,
I'll wither away.
Turning into something,
from my yesterday.
Bitter and cold.
Sad and alone.
That cannot be my future,
It's to chilling,
right to the bone.
So here I write,
My most naked thoughts.
No longer putting on a show.
Disrobed,
Unclothed.
For all of you to know.
