Screams
December 9, 2015
People are fragile. Exteriors are hard, but people are fragile. there are layers
And layers and layers and layers,
and you peel them away.
Slowly,
Meticulously,
Lovingly,
and then they're raw. but what do you do with rawness? the weakness the pure exposure...
caress it protect it.
tear it?
Let it bleed, rip them inside out, don't care, don't worry! stab your finger in and twist.
blood, blood, blood. pull, scratch.
They're mangled, You won. But why
tear hearts save yours?

I was watching beat poetry and was inspired to write my own. I hope you all can feel the rhythms and get the emotions that ride behind each word.
