Naked


To be stripped from all that we hide behind.

Looking in the mirror now, you cannot lie

To yourself; to the world

Exposed.

This is who you are, behind society's camoflauge.

Behind the make-up gauze,

Covering your face.

Bare, natural, innosence.

Why do you feel it is such a disgrace? 

Real beauty is exposed.

Real beauty is naked.
