Naked But Not Afraid


Without the makeup and the cars

noone would notice who you are

The social media and brand names

don't define you or your fame

Strip away your mask

and accept your imperfections and allow yourself to bask

The no filter me is naked but not afraid

confident and pure, I should get paid

It feels so good to be bare

for God's sake let em' stare

I let my hair flow and keep it sassy

a little bit dangerous but always classy 

Material things don't make up the real you,

but the real me feels as good as new
