from my poetry blog.....
"Clothed"
when sitting here day in and out
i contemplate this and want to shout
at the top of my lungs
my air made clear
by my strong desire to run far from here
make it out alive
or be dead when you finally do
by then you'll know if you had it in you
to risk it all not seeing when
a reward will come
they tell it wont so you better pretend
to fit in fit out
outfitted for now
with the drapes and the cloths that mask self doubt
look around and see those who wear theirs so proud
be the one in the room who aches to stand out
take it off and remove it
you want more so
choose it
just let it all fall to the floor
