all my senses seem to fade to unprotected black
whenever you are near it is more than obvious what it
is I seem to lack
a deep sense of inner beauty that should shine from
within all the way through out
but that is not so for when you approach with
unexplainable shyness and inferiority I am forced to
bout
my hard won self confidence falls to the ground and
shatters at my feet in utter despair
my wit and sense of humor then follow by melting
in virtual thin air
leaving me standing before you terrified and completely
Soul Bare
showing you what no one else has ever before seen
my unadorned trembling true self so incongruent to my
public camouflage and quite rare..............
