Naked

Locations

I sit in the still of the night,

lonely and drenched in the wind.

Could it be that not everything is really

what it seems?

Me, I hide behind the mask of a million words.

I lay here silently erasing all of what I have said,

and now I am naked.

For I just want to be wild, happy, and free.

I do not wish to hurt anybody on oblivious journey

to a life full of bliss and serenity.

I want to live a life full of love, peace, and rose petals.

I sit here, naked, with tears streaming down my face.

I am naked and I feel like I am in a race. Never competing

for first place, no, that is not like me, not at all. But I’m

enjoying the run and the wind in my hair for now.

Even if I am naked.
