I stand before you naked.
Uneasy as I slowly slip of my ambitions to see the delight of prejudice on your face.
A peel of the skin of dreams I once wore
In exchange for your overcoat of sadness and depression,
The ink covered paper of my goals much like my innocence is creased too, in hopes that I please you.
You smile. As I take off my youthful bliss and ignorance for things I never wanted to know
And I realize I never wanted to grow in the first place.
The pressure of your crooked smile brings tears to my eyes, as I take off more in order to grow up.
I strip off my hopes, Zip down my dreams,
You’ve forcefully removed my will to live, Its ripped at its seams,
I take off my youth fold it in a crease less square hoping in my heart one day again I will wear, as I shed a tear.
My rainbow colored joy is removed for the gray of your sadness.
I stand before you naked society,
“Now do you love me?”
I stand before you naked society,
“Why do you still judge me?”
