Trey Hamner Poet Rhyme

You

You have managed to unravel me
Which must have been a lot of untangling
But I fear the truth you see
And I fear the force you must be channeling
You see me with no carapace
And I enjoy being uncovered
My soul completely relocates
When  I become discovered
I see a life that I never saw
and that life is looking right back
I see a reformed outlaw
and a calm, lovely maniac

I pray that my true self is not too hideous
I pray that my guard has come down enough
I know my past is so perfidious
With the anger, the violence, the handcuffs
I sweat with glee and anticipation
at the outset of a new proclamation
Yet my worry paralyzes me
Like I am some sort of over burdened amputee

Darren White May 18, 2017 at 9:06 AM I am blown away by this poem! "I see a reformed outlaw // and a calm, lovely maniac.// How we can be completely undressed and naked before the one we love. Or even before our own eyes when we finally allow ourselves to see our naked truth with all of its pains and faults, hoping that we can accept ourselves.
