Stay Raw.

Don't shut your eyes
face the ugly truth.
Let the pupil inject
the moment's balloon.

Don't turn your back
to the tethering crowd.
Rather punch back the blurb
hard and tight.

Stay raw,
bathe naked in sunshine.
Be aware of the fact
the night balm melts with time.

Laugh it off
if need be puke it out.
But don't keep it to yourself
the baggage of droops.

Confront the real you
shake hands with your shadow.
Ask her to stay anywhere
but not inside of you.

Only then you can scan yourself
X-ray it well.
Staying raw is not primitive
it's then you'll find the new you.
