Naked and Not Ashamed is written from a REALIST VIEW. A true story of a woman's life. It was not until her wounds had healed was she able to write about abuse. Some women protect their image by pretense, ignoring their feeling of being rejected. The pain of rejection may give rise to negative behavior. Destroying the image, you portrayed leads to utter despair and often into depression. Pain sends a decoy to detract the mind masking your true self. My self-esteem spring up to detract the mind from masking my true self. My self-esteem spring up to rescue me but self-worthlessness overrode it while it tampered with my ego strength. It becomes a giant as the woman within me slowly slips into someone uncertain, masked with fake smiles as a decoy, giving time to recover in unfamiliar territory. Only to be devoured by another wolf in sheep's clothing. She is grouped as an article of clothing to be groped and pawed upon as a piece of property owned-with no rights. This is a form of abuse hidden under the disguise of "You know I love you."
