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.
