I Stand Before You


I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Would you like for me to wear shadows of doubt
and our strings of unseen guilt about the neck.

I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Would you like for me to see through glass eyes
and see your rainbow with all the shades of grey.

I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Would you like for me to speak with a fork tongue
and listen to you with cotton wool in both the ears.

I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Would you like for me to keep a close distance
and touch each other like if we had wooden limbs.

I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Would you like for me to think with an empty mind
and love you with a heart made of sand and mortar

I stand before you dressed in nothing but myself.
Accept me for who I am, if not, then you must go
and leave me just the same, as I am.
