We are all naked
under our fashions
under our 'style'
We are all naked
under the layers
worn for warmth
worn to enhance
worn for modesty
We are all naked
we were born naked
that is how we were designed
no fur, no feathers, no scales
we chose to cover up
for a myriad of reasons
but we were born naked
we are all naked underneath
*
I can't understand the cry
"they are naked how disgusting,
what if the children see."
We are taught to be ashamed
of our natural state.
There is nothing more natural,
it is the mind that has a problem.
*
We are all naked
we were born naked
that is how we were designed
we are all naked underneath

Yes .that is true..you have said something which is true and which other people normally wont say.But if you say it or not a truth is a truth..Nice way of emphasising what you want to tell.
I am glad you found this poem Rashmi, it is good to get feedback on it. I am glad you agree with me. :-)
Thanks for visiting and taking time to explore.
YES indeed!!! Love this!
So true......well written, well expressed.
another brave and beautiful piece.
I agree... no matter what we wear, people can see the naked version of us!
Although I like my people with clothes on,(LOL) I think our nakedness is the equalizer. To know that we are all just human beings..egually human under the trappings that we adorn ourselves with.
That's what I got from your words. I really enjoy your poetry, Susannah.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this everyone, it is much appreciated. This was one of those that slipped through without getting seen at the time of writing and thanks to poetry pantry I was able to give it an airing.
Thanks again. :-)
Lovely, Susannah. I like this blog, as well.
Yes we are all naked underneath...we clothe ourselves to cover it...we have naked emotions we hide from others for fear they will be turned off.....great job!
Enjoyed this and I liked the strength the repetitions gave the poem. Not battering, but truth-telling.
You have expressed yourself nicely, with simplicity and with sincerity. Very well done.

A poem full of truth! Well done!
This is a wonderful poem ... for it states quite simply the truth ... over and over and over, with the hope that someone will hear!
We are all naked underneath...
Wow! I can't tell you how that lines resonates. It becomes more powerful as the poem continues. I fully agree that somehow society has twisted modesty and filth together, forgetting the purity of the naked form.
Art students take naked as natural! ♥
Brilliant!!
