Fully clothed but feeling naked,
As revealed as blood and bone.
Exposed, not to the eye, but to the mind, exposed.
A lot to learn and much to do,
Still young but fully grown.
Nothing is forgiven, a debt is to be paid.
What you were given wasn’t for you to keep,
Not a gift, but a loan.
Everyone’s around you,
Yet still you feel alone.
Their eyes are looking at you,
You’re as revealed as blood and bone.
Exposed, not to the eye, but to the mind, exposed.
All is learnt and all is done,
Mature but not fully grown.
Everything has been forgiven, all debt has been repaid.
What you gave wasn’t for them to keep,
Not a gift, but a loan.
