Freedom comes from the one who left.. and I beckon the audience who stands before me, and I am standing here in the deepest ocean , can you see me , I will never drown, I am the power you tried to sustain, and I... turn my back on you as you call my name , and I ask my audience can they keep up with me? who will be my next intention? for I am a virgin to love, a whore to life , come share my leather secrets, can you get past my disguise ? I dare you to try ! Shattered glass might scar you left from broken hearts but I can mend you , If you can stand with me in my ocean if you can catch me if you can keep me blood and bone and don't forget sweat swallow me do you see me ? As I stand here bare... scared... empty... power.. My audience... written -Amy Everett 9-29-08

I like the flow of this poem and the figurative language. I can see the ocean and love surrounding the figure in the middle. The imagery of love is wonderful. Great job and welcome to Poetry Soup! ~Joseph
