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.”
