Lay everything bare
No masks no barriers
Drowning in want
A need without end
Take it all off
Strip down until
All that is left
Is this fragile body
Rattling bones and
Living tissue
Breakable
Healable
Strong.

Lay everything bare
No masks no barriers
Drowning in want
A need without end
Take it all off
Strip down until
All that is left
Is this fragile body
Rattling bones and
Living tissue
Breakable
Healable
Strong.
