Naked

My blood trickles
through the tip of my pen
as my soul is exposed
yet once again.

Naked, my words
slowly open the door,
and step into the world
largely ignored.

Fearfully, they
confront giants of hate,
bigotry, ignorance,
Thus fixing their fate.

So bleeding, I
press my pen to the page
and bear my soul once more
to cowards’ rage.

    Hatred is an acid that destroys the vessel holding it.

    I think this quatrain deserves a lot of exposure. Few words which enhances the soul and truth. A piece of work which is one of my favourites as from now.

    A very tasteful way to expose yourself. I enjoyed your poem.
