take away

Take away my brief memories

Make me forget the unimportant things in life.

Take away the unrealistic, to-good-to-be-true version of me,

Make me realize what counts.

Take away my sorrow,

Make me feel happy and overjoyed all the time.

Take away my excuses, misinterpretations and losses,

They’re fake, and not worthy.

 

Take, take everything until I die,

So everyone can see my true soul. 

Take off the masks I wear in different surroundings,

To show me who I actually am.

Take away my clothes, underwear, make-up, my accessories,

Show the true beauty of the heart.

Take away my hair, my eyes, ears, nose and mouth,

All the inessential things that blind you from seeing me.

Take away my hearing, scent, taste, my touch, my sight,

All the inessential things that blind me from seeing you.

Take away the interpretation of me being tough and egocentric,

Tell me the truth: I am not.

Give me back my smile, my bright eyes

My length, hopes, my positivity

My happiness, my sadness,

My dreams, memories, creativity

Give me back me, myself,

A hug, a wave, a kiss

This is me.
