Show me your words,
not your body.
The body catches a second.
The mind holds a room.
Skin gets likes.
Language gets remembered.
Anyone can undress.
Few can think out loud
and leave a mark.
Show me the sentence
that cost you something.
The thought you stood behind.
The voice that didn’t ask permission.
Not the body on display.
The real you.
