Naked



If I wear a philosopher's cloak

Will that make me a philosopher?

If I wear the Invisibility Cloak

Will that make my problems go away?

If I wear a Opera cloak

Would that help me hide my poverty?

*~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~*
¤Human - made active optical camouflage¤
*~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~**~¤~*

The function of certain cloacking devices
is to jam and confuse the perception
of remote viewers

I will not discard the reality
of who I am when I am naked

I now take my clothes and my comic mask off

Here I am

Me

and nothing or no one else
to camouflage me and my reality

Can you accept me for who I really am?

Judge me
Critize me

I accept myself for who I am
I am strong enough to admit
that I am not perfect
and at the same time
a realist and an optimist

*~¤~*I AM!*~¤~*

I do not think any of us are perfect we must accept who we are.

escape from reality, is our only solace...

but running only makes things closer for some reason... problems never "run away"

i loved this. =)
