All Right

i know
you've heard
these words
before.
i'm lost
and scared
and i
implore
that you
could find
it in
your heart
to save
me from
the cold
deep dark
inside
my head
where i
must hide
where all
the hopes
and tears
i've cried
collect
and there
they are
in case
i need
to re-
member
your face
i'll lock
it up
down deep
inside
with all
my hopes
and tears
i've cried
there with
old mem-
ories
it stays.
the co-
lors fade
and turn
to grays.
as time
and lack
of use
begin
to take
away
what i
forget
i don't
want that
to be
the case
don't dare
to turn
away
your face
i'll see
you 'til
the end
of time
if hope
will grant
this wish
of mine.

Naked

*~ Okay, you don't have to tell me. I know this is bizarre. But bear with me~*

The air chills my skin.
I really should put some clothes on.
But I like the way it feels
to just be naked.
You know?
Nothing on.
Just standing there.
I don't feel the need to impress
anyone.
When I'm all alone.
And naked.
It's just me.
Perfect in my own skin.
Sheltered by my four walls.
I just stand there.
Naked.
And I tell my reflection,
"You're beautiful.
You know?"
And my reflection smiles.
And then the moment passes.
I layer on insecurities with the clothes.
Go on into the world.
Knowing that underneath my
stuffy insecurities
and socks,
I am beautiful.
And naked.
