I feel naked
in front of a million people
their critisisms hit my face
their scrutinising glares
burn my heart
shrouds only cover my imperfections
they don't change them
it feels like I can't breathe
I wish I were invisible
but you can see me
and I can hear you
and your words
tearing aparty my soul
I can close my eyes
turn my back
but I know you are still there
I am not angry
you are only that real
why do you hate
what you don't know
I'm naked
Amazing... You can really feel the emotion. i look forward to reading more!
that was some deep shit right there makes me think of how many times I've said some hatefull stuff and about the negative thing said about me great poem very thought provoking
Ouch ouch, this is raw. When people are cruel it does seem like you are stripped of every last thing...gotta build your fortress to keep the vapors at bay...and soon, it'll become amusing, and you'll realize you are the better person...because you have a heart.
Darling, you write some of the most touching and beautiful poetry I've read. Sometimes I think it is hard to see the good qualities in ourselves, but you have so many and I wish you would believe that. You are so beautiful and smart and you're an awesome friend. Remember to talk whenever you want to and write out all your feelings. Love ya, D
