Tiara Hamberg Poet Free verse

Underneath

Sometimes i wish 
That i could crawl out of my skin
Bare all my sins
Flay myself open
And watch as i bleed
Maybe then i might feel
Some sense of release
A lessening of the weight
That suffocates me as i try to breathe
Maybe if i could breathe and i could see
I might not feel so dirty
But if i bare all my sins
And let everything out in the air
People would really see
The pathetic being i am underneath

Douglas Stoiber April 15, 2024 at 11:05 AM Tiara, Having myself written a poem about the darkest secrets of my life, I want to commend you on finding a way to express some very serious thoughts, and I hope that in the process of writing, you felt the same catharsis that I did. Write some more.

Russell Smith April 15, 2024 at 10:03 AM I've always found something beautiful in the tragic. Well maybe not always beautiful but comfortable. Great writing.
