Hey, guys!

I wrote this a while back and I have yet to show anybody so I wanted to show you guys!

I love poetry and this is the first poem I have written in a long time.

I hope you enjoy it!

The poem is called Naked.:)

I am naked under my clothes

Beneath colorful fabrics, I'm naked

Under my favorite bra and underwear, I'm naked

When people are shouting ' of course you are!', they don't realize one thing

That being naked is a form of vulnerability

When people mock me, I'm stripped of my self-esteem

When people shout at me, I'm stripped of confidence

When people are mad at me, I am stripped of my bravery

When I cry, I am stripped of the walls that I spent my whole life building

Being naked isn't just in a literal sense

It is meant to be taken in metaphoric way

Being vulnerable is a form of being naked

And that is why I say I am naked

And I should not be ashamed of saying so

I am naked

Along with my colorful fabrics and undergarments, I am vulnerable

And I hope that you are too

Because no one should be ashamed of being naked

It's not the best, but I am very proud of it.

I'm feeling 'naked' at the moment right now.

All I want to be is content.

Is that too much too ask for?

I want nothing more than to be someone's number one for once and forever.

Anyway, remember that I love you all.
