Day Seventeen

What if today were a day
that I let it all hang out?

Breathed easy
and let the "temple" out
over my waistband

Forgo the makeup
letting my glow shine

Let the tears run down
in the wake of disappointment

Curled up into your arms
to escape the fear

Confront the niceties
casually passed my way

Laugh out loud
at the unmistakable irony

Bust out the silliness
unbridled from judgement

Embrace in my heart
loves tender grip

Jump up and down
unable to control excitement

I am glad that I can
let it all hang out with you.
