Exposed

Shards of glass,
they thread my skin.
Feeling cold,
I hear them sing.
Outside to stand,
For the world to see.
Their every word,
Has broken me.

They grasp my heart,
They rip and tear.
My secrets out,
For all to hear.
The pull and nip,
My every wound.
My soul inside,
Forever doomed.

I stand here broken,
Naked, exposed.
Your words carve me,
I break my hold.
I meet the ground,
And hope to die.
Oh to escape,
I start to cry.

Words can shred you more than knives can at times. Wounds from words run deep and never heal like flesh wounds. Your work continues to leave me in awe....

to be young in age doesn't diminish the gift you have and the uncanny ability to paint and express yourself with such maturity. Keep writing and I will keep reading
