A weird poem that would not leave me alone, we are all nude and exposed for whats inside.

-Nude-

Rude
Nude
Naked
Often forsaken
Upon these pages
My stain
Exposed
See inside
Look deep
Believe
Retrieve
Take pieces of me
All that you wish
All that you can stand
Keep them for yourself
Study them from
The immediate distance
Only when you are certain
Hold them significantly closer
Better still when you are ready
When your confidence soars
When you feel most alive
Take them deep inside
Fully clothed to prying eyes
No matter how hard they try
They will see nothing more
And never again anything less
What you will learn is yours
Never lend it to anyone
Never wholeheartedly give it away
Understand the divine beauty
And the subtle tranquility
Of the madness spelled out
Only then should you let go
Easily forgetting my name
Remembering only my words
An eternal soul of sorts
God has blessed you
Just as he has blessed us all
My life, the one you do not lead
Is a lesson devoid of choice
A wilderness of both depth and scope
My gift is my creativeness
I know, more than most
The pain still hurts very much
No easing it away
No calming storm
Full on I have had to live
Increasingly just like me
But unlike most
The world is nude
Naked and bare
At times without care
Not shy in any way
For everyone to see
Bulbous, at times round
Both healthy and sick
Suffering from an incurable disease
That does not cause death
But rather changes in perspective
What we see today
What people like you and me
Come to know
Come to understand
Will change at a snail’s pace
Others, far beyond us
Will see the end results
Others far beyond us will know
They will understand what we
You and I were all about
Words will help
Stories to be told
Dire truths to be shown
I am sure that I will write some
But others will write many more
Nude are those who have found
A way to express themselves
Everyone else
Is fully dressed
And simply unaware...
