Poem: Unwrap




Don't tell me no, 
As I seek to undress, 
All the layers that you hide behind; 
Stripping you bare 
Of facades and silken exteriors, 
To unveil the real you within. 

Don't push me away, 
As I try to scrape off, 
All the sugar coating that conceals 
An ugly nature so unthinkable, 
Even as you cower, 
And pray to remain clothed. 

Dont resist me now, 
As I hasten to unwrap, 
Your shell, like a Pandora's lid, 
Polishing off the glitters, 
So that you can be yourself,
Set free off all that you are not.
