"Bare Naked" by Jessica Michelle

I have posted this poem before, but it is stuck in my mind for some reason today.... soooooooooo reposting!

I'm bare naked...
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
My heart out in the open
there's nowhere for it to go.
I traveled and searched so long
only to walk this road alone.
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.

I'm bare naked....
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
these eyes they keep on searching
for something to call my own.
I wait and wait and wait some more
for a voice to lead me home.
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.

I'm bare naked....
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
So much to be discovered
so much more than you know.
More than just a vessel
swept up in the undertow
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.

I'm bare naked....
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
There's a truth in my reflection
Singing a song you should know.
Throwing away the mask
Screaming to let go.
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.

I'm bare naked....
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
Giving into the heartache
and learning to let go.
Listening to the tear drops
they tell me all I need to know.
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.

I'm bare naked....
but I'm dressed from head to toe.
A soul to be discovered
learning lessons as I go.
A temple to be honored
My value someday I will know.
I'm bare naked...
I'm on my own.


Always Blushing,
Jessica Michelle
