Unmasking to Genuine Authenticity
To unmask a false identity is to identify genuine authenticity. It's painful, no, it kills me, but it's the only way to heal what's deep. Pain in my body, it was a lie to me. Deep regrets built in from long ago. No. Deep pits that have since grown cold. The shame was underlying, and i craved the construct of what...

Shedding Skin
Clouded by doubt and pain, Failure slithers in. Cutting old thick skin, Down on my knees again. Just feel like quitting, Admitting defeat. Retreating, Shedding my skin. Brush away the tears, You faced those fears, Layered through the years. Scraping by The obstacles, Fed through the ears. Limits to my existence, Awaken the chance. A vessel of resistance, Keeping distance. Patiently mending, Becoming Complacent. Sliding adjacent, To the Way Things Are, We don't slither far. Hiding in...

Shedding Skin
She visited me wearing new skin. Finally revealing that she was afraid to fall. Throughout life we're all confronted With moments like this at some point. At first, I didn't recognize her. Shades of her old skin peeking through. She coiled into my arms. Finding the warmth of my chest. The memories that I tried to block out Welcomed her. No longer neurotic, but...

The Shedding of Our Skin
“The Shedding of our Skin”    I am writing about the transition from lost now found,  Darkness to light, one being into another, death to life,  Old skin to new skin.  Its like the rejuvenation of skin  The restoring of flesh over flesh of an open wound  And that does not happen all at once but over a duration of time.  Little by...

Shedding the Past
No need to wish to change the hand of time, If how life is approached has not changed. The unsung songs of the little girl trapped inside the woman's body has caused the shades of the night to descend and left her on sinking sand grasping for air and finally when She gets some, It's an ill wind. Lord have mercy I am...

Premium Member The Shedding Trees of Autumn
I've heard your whispers in quiet moments amongst the shedding trees of Autumn.. I walk alone our wooded path – listening the air just as crisp as a bright-blushed Winesap but my tears not as sweet – glistening the wispy whispers haunting taunting in their gentle tug and I wonder; how easily the golden leaves let go.. with barely a breath of...

With Flood Shedding Blood
It was their own way of shedding blood: Their backs turning to a surging flood, Until it warranted the Ark of Noah Or left survivors a preventable fewer … To rain-boots sticking, publishing no fear, Until the waters were to bellies near And Dear Erosion here and there, Preoccupied with the unfair… Stacked-high dumps emptying into water Against disposal challenges getting hotter; The Government alerting...
