As I remove my clothes I examine my body in the mirror
Revealing depths of my soul
Things are beginning to get clearer.

Looking at myself completely nude
All covered in stretch marks
I no longer have to look at myself so construded
They're like my life's trademark

Beauty and scars may fade
Wrinkles may show up over time
But the light in my eyes will stay
Just have to remember I am a dime

Time seems to be slipping through my fingertips
But life has tried to be merciful
Even though sometimes it feels like a total eclispe
I just try to keep telling myself I am beautiful.

Each day I remove these clothes
I smile just a little more inside
Because my beauty really shows
With each day I take stride.
