Oluwaseye Ayinla Poet Ode

Underneath

There’s a place that I know  
Where monsters hide
There’s a part of me I never show
My dark side
There’s an animal in me
That can take you on a roller coaster ride
But I’ll confess all my sins
And let you see what’s on the inside
I tell you things nobody knows
And show you my dirty laundry
I’ll let you in on secrets only God knows
And let you explore the ugly truth
I’ll get naked and strip away my flesh
For you to see everything in detail
And let you see under the depth of my skin
So you know what you’re getting into
I’ll be transparent
For you to see through my eyes
I’ll be translucent
Just so you can go further beneath
Under me
Underneath

Skat A December 11, 2015 at 6:45 PM Oluwaseye, Welcome to Poetry Soup. It will be a delight to read and become familiar with your poems in the future. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT Oluwaseye Ayinla December 11, 2015 at 7:27 PM Thanks SKAT. I'm still sort of new to poetry I guess, cause some of the poetry forms have got me scratching my head. As for something about me, I'd define myself as a SOBER poet. That's how writing originated for me. Excited about meeting the community, reading a lot of inspirational poems and having few laughs along the way :-)
