Naked

You see behind the mask;

You see right through

These surface smiles.



I’m vulnerable,

Exposed to your eyes

But oh, how I’ve opened up

So you can see why I closed myself.



I’m naked before you

Because you made me

Feel comfortable in my skin.

This is utterly brilliant! So much is said in so few words, and the conclusion absolutely seals the poem. This is a sign of classic talent, and I applaud your accomplishment.
