The naked theory
He's my therapist
I lay it out raw, like walking past the butchers The scent is prevalent, you can't escape it
So why hide it
I sit on the edge of my bed, I look to the ceiling, I look to the floor I can't see you, but the walls are listening
Oh lord, I am so flawed
1 keep tripping, I ain't high but sometimes I want to be
Take the edge off and all - just a thought
I spoke to God tonight
I told him about the week I had
Quite stressful and overwhelming
Laid it off my chest
It was getting too heavy but you are stronger than anything
The words are atmospheric, let it ascend to the heavens
Candle lit settings
Gotta keep trying
Gotta keep moving
Cause God is still working
So I gotta keep living
The naked theory is about exposing everything to God no matter how uncomfortable you feel. There’s nothing we can hide that he doesn’t know about so there’s no point in fronting. That’s the main ethos of the poem .
GOD'S LOVE
seasons come and go
but your love remains the same
one minute I can feel the heat of the sun on my brown skin, the
next I am cold, shivering in the rain
but your love remains the same
how can I resist this special gift?
pride gets in the way
selfish ambition leaves a bitter taste
welcome this love because it never fails
strip away this old paint on this heart of mine and polish me with a covering of white
This poem is about God’s love - it never changes no matter the situation. Being open to receive God’s love because he cares about every single detail of our lives. Making changes to strive for the betterment of ourselves and for other people.
