Naked Truth Recognizing my vulnerabilities, knowing my weaknesses and realizing when my resolution begins to sway, I cloak myself behind smiles that could brighten and lighten rooms with laughter in hopes that the world might see a stronger me and not the shadows of what I used to be. My armor is fashioned to show only that which I allow the world to see; but here I am alone with my naked truth~ the very heart and soul of me. {revised 6-1-05} I really want to care, I want to feel something, let me dig a little deeper nah, still nothing~ my give a DAMN is busted.

And when those truths are revealed so very well, so gently, only then only then do we grow. |

I know how you feel. Sometimes it is good to climb out of our shell every once and a while. Loved this piece. Kristabell |
