Naked and Afraid

Let go of fear

In the middle of the street

I look at myself, no clothes from my head to my feet

Green and red lights flash

As the cars pass

Horns honking, cars stopping for a show

But I still don’t move as if there’s no where to go

They’ve already seen me at this point what’s the point to run

I’m crying and their having so much fun

Where’s the pity or the comfort I’m feeling so alone

Yet I don’t move and now people are recording with there phone

I’m going crazy in my head I can’t find the joy in this shit

This is it! The bottomless pit

What do I do next? Cry and scream?

Instead I began to day dream

Day dream about tomorrow because it won’t be like today

So I lift my to head to the sky and begin to pray
