Naked

I stop clinging to what was never mine

I leave behind what taught me to hide

There's no armor left to keep me intact

There's no fortress left to stand in the way

No need for courage when nothing is left

When everything was arranged

I'm not strong but I never wanted bravery

I'm not saved but I never wanted faith

I'm just broken but I don't need compassion

I'm just here exposed

No words will be spoken

To soften the hopeless ones

No eyes will witness

How heavy our crosses are

No gesture will be gentle

No hand will reach out

Nothing explained

Nothing returned

I am here exposed

I'm not strong but I never wanted bravery

I'm not saved but I never wanted faith

I'm just broken but I don't need compassion

I'm just broken but I don't want bravery

I'm just broken but I don't need your faith

I'm just broken and I don't like your compassion

I'm just here exposed
