I Am (Stripped)

I am timid, and I am oversensitive. I am a lion, I am tired and defensive. You take me in your arms and I fold into you. I have insecurities. But you show me I am beautiful.....

Love me or leave me just take it or leave it. It's not that I'm needy just need you to see me.

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me. Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending....

I am temperamental and I have imperfections. And I am emotional, I am unpredictable. I am naked. I am vulnerable. I am a HUMAN. I am opening up to you....

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands. I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am.... Please lay down your arms. Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm..............

Just take me, free me, see through to the core of me. Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending....

I AM...... YOURS
