Laura Breidenthal Poet Dramatic Monologue

Flesh

there i am - in this uninspiring place
so easily i spill the Truth
that i now share with you ... 
so easily i say it
confessing my doubts 
and so much more i falter now 
to release it 
with Reality indemned to me 
with your Genuine gaze troubling my soul

it is FLESH i abhor above all else 
intrigue entrapping hope
festering inconceivable fears ... 
it is this FLESH that floors me,
whispering cringy ultimatums
till ineptitude is definite!

so when you called me
to see me
with your genuine reassurance,
you can be sure 
that above all else 
i am caged in your love
with my trusty fears ...

i will regret ever telling you my truth
because you cannot move pass my FLESH
while my soul rages in the fiery depths 
of your inquiring heart

think for once of yourself!
how my caged life will destroy your Faith
while FLESH transfixes the mind
forcing all of my flaws to your light

in your genuine Love ...
far from this cage i am placed
for Tomorrow
it is your FLESH
that i must face!
