Authors Note : I was at a concert just this last Thursday, I saw the Goo Goo Dolls, and Counting Crows. Well, as the 'Dolls were on stage performing, I heard the whisper of a line form in my head. Now mind you ... I have nearly always got a writing utensil and a small notebook with me ... but I couldn't imagine needing them at a concert, so I left them behind. But this line ... "We're all naked underneath our skin" ... wouldn't leave me alone ... so I borrowed a pen and wrote it on the back of my ticket stub. And as I stood there watching the Goo Goo Dolls ... I had my own music competing with theirs, in my head. I had the first four stanzas memorized before they were done with their set. It was a most amazing experience. Oh, and by the way ... if like me, you were unaware of what the Counting Crows can do in concert ... They are incredible. I was totaly blown away !!!
Point Of View
You dress yourself
Up in your own sin
Ah, but were all naked
Underneath our skin
And I
Can see
Only you
You try to hide
Behind your eyes
But the colors of your soul
Cant be disguised
And I
Can see
Only blue
Youre standing there
Beside yourself
Your feelings conveniently
Placed on a shelf
And I
Can feel
Only you
Now youre so proud
Of your disguise
Its a multilayered tapestry
Of interwoven lies
That I
Can see
Right through
And you fear your own reflection
Everything it makes you face
Decisions of the past
Those memories time cant erase
Still I
Believe
In you
Though you lost yourself
Somewhere along the way
And youve been searching for direction
Ever since that fateful day
Know I
Can see
You through
And the grass is always greener
At least thats what people say
When you live behind a wall
And never open up a gate
So I
Can get
To you
Yes you dress yourself
Up in your own sin
Oh, but were all naked
Underneath our skin
And I
Can see
Only
.
.
.
You

Naz, this was so unique, naked physique.
And so true for today too!
Behind masks, behind walls, no feelings, few tasks. People are so scared, too frightened to show themselves, so they become some one else.
I love the journey's you take me on Naz, this one was spectacular!
And Thank you dear friend all your comments on my poems.
Warm love
