Flaunt your weakness

Let black become new strength

Bare as I can be

 
I’ll bear it all

Shine with no hidden shadows

A reflection of nature

And a heart transparent as glass
I’ll display my life like plasma

Let the world see for all that matters

Notice the wounds, scars and plasters

The healing process after the shatter
I’ll undress the distress worn on my face

Put down the masquerade of Mary Kay

Expose this smile that stretches like elastic

And be me like I always wanted
I’ll make the butterflies jealous

And the heavens curious

Become rainbow without colors

Reach out for the sky like rocket
I’ll make public my journey

Show the world the thorns that beset me

Lay clear my weaknesses, autobiography

Be bare as I can be
