Public Confidence

I've always been pretty shameless.

Even when I haven't felt

one ounce of confidence in my body:

I've been confident enough for public "nudity."

Since high school...

...I've been the first to strip down

to my bra&undies for some

play in the mud

or

street festival dancing

or

midnight swim with buddies.

I'm sure it's a defense mechanism.

If I seem super confident

maybe no one will notice my fat rolls.

But, I'd rather just be tiny,

so that when I strip down

I'll actually look good

when participating in public "nudity."
