Naked Somebody


Naked face and naked eyes

I like wearing my own hair

My own face

and my own mind

 

People call me bold

For stepping out the house plain

Or without a hood

Because they fear the rain

 

I let the diamond drops

Sit atop my follicles

And wash my soul with the waters

Artificial particles go down the gutter

 

And that’s “flawless” for you

Living naturally

Not flaw free

But for you.
