Naked

I feel naked

in front of a million people

their critisisms hit my face

their scrutinising glares

burn my heart

shrouds only cover my imperfections

they don't change them

it feels like I can't breathe

I wish I were invisible

but you can see me

and I can hear you

and your words

tearing aparty my soul

I can close my eyes

turn my back

but I know you are still there

I am not angry

you are only that real

why do you hate

what you don't know

I'm naked

Ouch ouch, this is raw. When people are cruel it does seem like you are stripped of every last thing...gotta build your fortress to keep the vapors at bay...and soon, it'll become amusing, and you'll realize you are the better person...because you have a heart.

Darling, you write some of the most touching and beautiful poetry I've read. Sometimes I think it is hard to see the good qualities in ourselves, but you have so many and I wish you would believe that. You are so beautiful and smart and you're an awesome friend. Remember to talk whenever you want to and write out all your feelings. Love ya, D
