Exposed

No more hiding
No more walls
Just me

Standing naked in the light
No filters left to save my face
Every scar is in plain sight
Every flaw in its rightful place

I thought this moment would destroy me
The world seeing who I really am
But there's a strange peace in the morning
When you stop running from who you've been

Exposed
Raw and uncompressed
Exposed
Finally confessed

Exposed
I'm standing in the light
Exposed
Nowhere left to hide
And it's terrifying, it's beautiful
It's everything I feared
Exposed
But I'm still here

They see the acne, see the doubt
See the tears, I tried to edit out
See the anger, see the shame
See the human behind the name

I waited for the world to crumble
For judgment to rain from the sky
But all I heard was gentle whisper
We see you, and it's alright

Exposed
Raw and uncompressed
Exposed
Finally blessed

Exposed
I'm standing in the light
Exposed
Nowhere left to hide
And it's terrifying, it's beautiful
It's everything I feared
Exposed
But I'm still here

For so long I thought vulnerability was weakness
That being seen meant being destroyed
But the walls I built to protect me
Became the prison that held me void

Exposed
I'm dancing in the light
Exposed
And everything's alright
It's terrifying, it's beautiful
It's everything I feared
Exposed
And finally I'm here
Really here

No more hiding
Just breathing
Just being
Exposed
