Strip Down
Strip down!
Let me see you.
The You.
The real you.
Naked. Uncovered.
Unprotected.
Let me see what
hides in all those
wrinkles and lines.
Let me find the
soft spots and where
it tickles and where it
hurts.
Let's drop the guilty
silence, the shameful
staring.
Let's unveil all that
is hidden behind the
veils of our times.
And then let's jump into the
cold, dark water, eyes closed,
heart pounding until the
dizziness sets in
and we're dropping and
rising together beautifully
high on life –
and see
where it will
take us.
