The Naked Truth

I write
To speak
What is kept within.

Express emotions
Memories 
And sins.

Poetic rules
Structure
Don’t  matter,
Limits the soul
Ideas scatter.

The naked truth
Straight lines
No shortcuts,
Old stories of youth.

A matter of choice
How I reveal,
Stages of life
Keeping it real.

To write
Is to pray
Choose in what way
Story tell to the world,
What my heart has to say.
