Please don't tell me what the 'truths' are
           Let me discover my own..
           Please don't tell me how it 'should' be..
           Long ago I realised ‘shoulds’ are only for those who need them
           One is always free to leave them behind and explore
           But it has to be your choice and journey
           There will be no nudge from outside..
           Do talk to me about beauty and pathos
           As you experience it                                                            P                        So drop your defences
           In your terms                                                                   O                      There are no guarantees
           That'll connect us far more than                                                E                            You could be hurt..
           Any toted 'pearls of wisdom' ..                                                 T                How long will you hide behind
                                                                                           R                                Protections of

           And face me naked?                                                                                             Your possessions
           Are you willing to see I am naked too?                   Neha Lehl                                 Your acquired ways of being
           Can we celebrate just that..                                                                        Ties, assumed compulsions
           No walls just vulnerability                                              When will you feel ready to jump off the cliff and realise
           Not perfections or imperfections                                                                       No protection is worth it
           Rights or wrongs..                                                       No wisdom is simpler or more meaningful than the one
           Just two naked souls                                                                                         That comes to you
           It is worthwhile to celebrate just that..                                                   When you are willing to be naked ..
