Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

The Hidden Lines

Now as i weave my poetry, he says to me

"You look good beautiful

From the tips of your fingers to the ends of your nails"


I smile back and continue to my second stanza

I'll give you my beauty for free, i think painfully

If you can erase all my hurt

All my brokeness

For beyond my shellac

There is a tarmac road full of potholes and cracks


And i wish you could see that

I wish you see me that way because am not fully put together

The foundation hides, that which i wish you could love

The eyeliner drives, that which is not there

Read my poems

Read me

Read my pain and then love me
