naked goddess (with Crimsin)

midnight glare at my vulnerability
I shrink back in my skin
aware of my nakedness

I seek to cover what the spirits desire to reveal about me
In contemptuous need my hurt glory over my pain
anxiety became anger within and I spin

while vital truths were spilled from me
pooling around me like venom with teeth
in vain I toil to hide the madness
its incessant chatter doesn't let me forget my monsters

I don't want you to see me like this
so raw and bare and empty of hope
I always want to show my strength
but my weaknesses define
tattoo my soul with truths
I would rather hide but can't

when you peel away
my layers of hurt
and admire me in all
my broken glory
like I'm some underworld goddess
worthy of your blinding grace

shyness overtakes me in your presence
you shine dear soul did I tell you?
I believe in honesty and gentleness
I find compassion in your cup and tenderness in your smile

it is refreshing to swim in your ocean
I don't wish to disturb I just wanted to tell you
beautiful faith in she had brought me hope in the dark
in the freckled friendship in an otherwise cruel world
talk to me of tomorrows and todays
in the darkness smile it will get brighter

Let me forget all my yesterdays
too full of regrets
I want to soar into tomorrow's light
without it blinding me
scarring my eyes
pushing me back into
the abyss that feels like home but isn't

You are the hope of days unseen
healing unfelt
you are a dream of better
I can't yet see
