words no longer trapped
by Lisa-Dawn SparlingHow vulnerable it is,
That I write these lines,
And then you read them.
They were once trapped deep somewhere.
Some were hiding in my heart,
Some were hiding in my brain,
Some were hiding in my soul.
I sit in front of this screen,
And from somewhere,
They all come out of hiding,
And before I realize what I have written,
I am reading it.
It feels as though and I am standing here naked,
And you are looking over all the imperfections and scars,
For a moment I feel like putting on my clothes,
And then I remember how it feels to be free,
To run naked and to see others running naked too,
Enjoying this freedom, not covering up the scars.
How wonderful it is,
That you read these lines,
And allow me to read yours.

They are here releasing you of the repressed feelings and for others to share who really care and is worthy of this natural human sharing. And yes, I can also see your three centres linked together to produce this beautiful piece you have created and presented. This is a beautiful poem.
