I wrote this quite some time ago.  It is a simple poem, and at the time had great personal meaning.  (There's a recording of me reading it on my personal site - made before my throat cancer ruined my voice.) After the years that have passed


NAKED

Naked
I stand.
No fear, pretence, or disguise.
No smoke screen, embarrassment, or shame.
No lies.
Head held high.
What would be the point of being different?
In the end,
nothing matters
save what
I truly am,
and of being comfortable
with that.

Individ
Can totally relate to this.

Humans in general spend too much time worrying about what others think about them, which in turn affects on how you think about yourself.

It takes courage to be "Naked" not to care about what others think and to be brave enough to accept yourself for yourself.

Nicely done!

God bless!
