Breathe the world

Naked, show yourself naked, without shame

A beautiful poem by Laura Cireddu whose words seem specially embroidered to dialogue with this photograph full of joy and enchanting purity, almost a hymn to the sacredness of life.

Naked, show yourself naked, without shame, without decency, cheeky, uncompromising, without guilt. Show yourself naked, in your strength as well as in your frailties, out of passion, out of joy, out of pain. Let the others wear their masks, those who show their weaknesses are stronger of those who hide them behind a fake security. Don't be ashamed of your scars, put them on display, make it your strong point, means that you had the courage to face challenges, it means you survived. You admit you don't know everything. Nobody knows everything, leave the mask of the wise to others, books are needed but if you can't tremble in holding a hand, in holding a glance, in opening your heart and showing yourself naked, the words read and swallowed are useless. Don't be afraid to be transparent. Don't lower your head in front of those who want to stain you with guilt, just because you're not what he wants you to be. Show yourself naked, do not deform yourself for others, this only takes you away from your true essence and it only produces unhappiness. Who judges you, he does it because he hasn't achieved the same degree of freedom, wrapped in its chains, needs to point the finger in order not to deal with one's own frailty, with their own shadows. Stripped of everything, let your skin be free in contact with the world, without filters, without tricks. Show yourself naked, not for boasting, but only to experience the happiness of being.
