I lay bare
Vulnerable
Like many virgins on their first night
Controversially exposing the very intricacies of my soul
And though unsure about forsaking my ego for truth
I choose to unveil in hopes of intimacy with you
I have heard this level of courage is not for the faint of heart
But I am fed up of being afraid, and I am also not a fake!
We are at our most pure, when from our dressing we depart
So I lay bare
Vulnerable
In to me see
And if it so happens that you don’t like what you see
It’s okay.
Eventually, the truth will achieve its infinite purpose
So although I’ll have to walk away,
I’ll walk away being able to say:
“I fought for truth,
I fought for truth,
And now, I am free.”
