Bare

I can't hide what I feel

I rely on what is real

If I deny what I conceal

I just might overflow

I can't carry that kind of load

When I am exposed

I have to let it go

Or I feel I could, I might explode

I cannot hold it on the inside

To watch it unfold before my eyes

When I have control over my life

I would rather write

Keep myself open wide

Bare my wounds

Every time something bites

I can't, I won't hide. Not tonight
