Flaming Raw

by Beth K Hannah

You are so raw and
So special
With your uniqueness
And way of existing
Without even wanting to

You are so raw and
I feel like a whore
Used up by the wind
jealous and tangled
And I wanted
To be happy.

And i feel swept away
Into the corner
Hidden because I can't
Make you smile
And love my eyes
I bled for you
And shed my clothes
Let my skin follow yours
And you were never satisfied.

How come I can't be good enough?
With my bruised skin
Wilted hair
And eyes that don't sparkle
I wish it was simple to be lovely
And easy for you to heart me
Satisfaction is the thing I can't bring
To this already demolished table.

Author's Note: Why am i so jumbled up?
I apoligize if this is terrible...but it was bursting out of me...
Could you look me in the eyes and tell me your happy now? ~Michelle Branch

It's amazing. The best things we write are the ones that burst from somewhere inside of us, I've noticed this.

Great outpouring of raw emotion. Great flow that really brings the emotions home to the reader's mind.
