Standing Bare

Do you have it? She asked him, 

as she lay in his arms

hoping she'd find it

as she tended her scars

She'd given her all 

and was left standing bare

she looked at him pleadingly, 

but it wasn't there

Do you have it? She asked them

as she stood on the stage

hoping she'd find it

looking out from her cage

She'd given her all

and was left standing bare

she looked at them pleadingly

but it wasn't there

Do you have it? She asked it

as she built up her home

hoping she'd find it

with all that space there to roam

She'd given her all

and was left standing bare

she looked around pleadingly

but it wasn't there

Do you have it? She asked them

to her children, each one

knowing she'd find it

They're the best thing she's done

She's given her all

since the day of her birth

She finally found it, 

Her Value, her worth.
