Unwrapped


 

We all have

The same desires

To be loved

To be accepted

To be appreciated

To be human

Yet our eyes

And our thoughts

Are constantly battling

Attacks

On the peace that we

Have worked so hard

To preserve

Nothing disturbs the silence

we crave

More than the persisting

Judgment

That surrounds us
