exposed.

you ask me to express my deepest emotions.

to speak my feelings without a filter.

the weight of the pressure feels far too great to bear.

mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most flawed of them all?

i stand here with my reflection gazing back at me,

critiquing every inch of myself.

stretch marks, cellulite, the list goes on…

how?

just how can I be naked with you…

when I can’t even revel at myself?
