Naked with Clothes on

Only when I'm naked 

You love me 

You adore me 

You admire me 

You believe in me 

When I have on clothes 

I'm unattractive 

I'm not deserving of your time 

You ignore me 

My presence in your mind is unknown 

If God made me, woman, from your rib; then why is it so hard for you to live with me by your side? 

I didn't ask to be formed from you, God chose me. 

I deserve some dignity 

I deserve your R-E-S-P-E-C-T 

I'm just saying like Lauryn "This could all be so simple, but you rather make it hard" 

I was not built to wear your unstable scars 

Only when I'm naked 

You listen to me 

Your attention span is consistent 

My inner thighs become your canvas 

I can have all of you with no regrets 

When I put on clothes 

I'm not the woman you knew in the beginning 

What happened to that girl who rose from your bed in the morning singing? 

What happened to the girl who put your needs before anything? 

Only when I'm naked 

You make me feel real 

I believe in us 

I can give you my trust 

I don't even know me anymore 

I transform into your dream, that "bad girl" you grew up looking for 

When I put my clothes on 

I wake up 

I grow up 

I realize my worth 

I am so much more than open legs. 

I learn how to ignore him when he begs 

Queen is me. Beautiful is she. 

Ungodly love she no longer searches for. 

Eyes wide open again, opportunity waits once she walks out of his door.
