Underneath

Sometimes i wish That i could crawl out of my skin Bare all my sins Flay myself open And watch as i bleed Maybe then i might feel Some sense of release A lessening of the weight That suffocates me as i try to breathe Maybe if i could breathe and i could see I might not feel so dirty But if i bare all my sins And let everything out in the air People would really see The pathetic being i am underneath

Tiara, Having myself written a poem about the darkest secrets of my life, I want to commend you on finding a way to express some very serious thoughts, and I hope that in the process of writing, you felt the same catharsis that I did. Write some more.

I've always found something beautiful in the tragic. Well maybe not always beautiful but comfortable. Great writing.
