Naked Year

The naked year

The year where illusions were peeled away

when being strong meant feeling weak

when being vulnerable became a constant

when truth revealed itself in every way

The year where even old certainties disappeared

when not knowing was allowed (not willingly)

when good became bad and bad felt good

when life appeared from within unquestioned

The year where there was nowhere to go

when running away became impossible

when what worked before, no longer does

when there was no where to hide, no safe space

The year where naked, vulnerable, revealed, scared…

also meant alive, conscious, self-accepted, committed!
