Bare & Bleeding
I lie, exposed to your words
Your criticisms and slight remarks
My ears open to all I can hear
Cracking my shell open took such strength
Did it come from me? Can I be that strong?
Is it so easy all the time or
Are there lots of walls to climb or
Knock down
Because I don't know how many more walls it will take
I can take
Bare & bleeding
Exposed to your analysis
And your umming and ahhing
And tongue clucking
Nail biting
Lip chewing
I can see you hunting me down
