Running naked on the street




I left my clothes on the beach
running naked on the street

Flashing lights
cars passing by

feeling the thrill
Naked on the street

Nobody notices me
I am one in the crowd

Polluted distorted
oblige to be proper

condemned to hide my true self
behind my garments

I am running naked on the street
heading towards the beach

My clothes are waiting for me
And I, I am not me anymore

I am one in the crowd
my foolish conviction

transformed me to
a rebel without a cause

No I am not an Exhibisionist

NSW, I would guess this was a dream? lol I had a very similar one when I was about 18. You are shedding your oppressive skin so well. I really enjoyed this. Smiling at you, Tai

Very cleverly crafted. I am in agreement with most. Our greatest freedom comes from self acceptance.

Nicely done, clearly moving in the right directio (naked truth) and back again -- personification and exquisite topic, barely touched.
A favorite topic of mine, but will discuss that in latewr writes.

clothes being a lie, someone commented earlier....that is possibly true....as we are not telling the truth about ourselves our bodies if the are concealed - as there are so many things your body can tell others about your life and yourself......although i couldnt say no one could notice a naked person running through the street unless it became the norm....excellent poem!

on the surface, the poem says something maybe not that vital or important but as we dig deeper many hidden meanings and pictures that make the mind wonder. about true -self or indifference. you wrote it smartly and i liked it.

Warm Regards,

Awesome job.I think it relates to anyone who feels that their life is just a little too predictable and that somewhere along the way they lost a part of themselves.I'm probably way-off but it worked for me:))

As thomas as said a the most occurin tool u use in this wonderful poem is symbolism. And the way u use it is superb.
I respect it.
