Challenge
What keeps you awake at night?
Share those dark pieces you've been too scared to post. I won't judge. (Any genre)
vulnerability (consequences)
if i were to expose myself,
would you still find me beautiful?
if i could grip the ladder of my ribs and
rip it open, crack the cage and set it all free,
all the guts and blood and hatred i
keep under iron lock and key -
how would you see through the carnage?
these ugly dripping bones and tar-like pools
growing around my knees are just
mirrors that i use to recognize the
truth of me.
i understand if its hard for you to see.
i want to say i don’t care if you turn away but
there’s something that wrenches out of
place in my chest when your eyes flick away -
even if only for a moment.
i’m ruined by the time you brave the sight.
