Letting Others In

Battle scar from spider bite
Shame from things done wrong
Freckled with regrets

Nothing secretive or hidden
I am as open as a flower
Showing my innards

Memories other have long forgotten
I hang on to forever
Reliving my despair and my sorrow

No secrets 
I spill it all out onto the parkway
letting others dance in my truth
