Giving Up My License As A Counseling Psychologist

I undressed myself today
From a piece of clothing
That was too tight
And had become too soiled
That I only wore
and showed
as a facade to the world
A piece of glitter and glamour
that had a dimed shine

I didn’t like
to wear it
but feared my nakedness
And didn’t know
what to wear instead

I thought that
that piece of clothing
was me
But in fact,
I was me underneath

And now
I am even more
a piece of art
