I' AM NOT WHAT YOU SEE

Indescribable

 

I' am Not What You See

 

My skin

is filled with paintings of pictures. Blisters and painful scars pierced of my experiences.

 

My eyes are mirrors of fear.

my mouth is scraped with words that my tongue reads in brail.

 

My face is a mask camouflaging all my frustrations and anger

 

My hands are made sore from the hurt when I bend them they cry for touch.

 

My ears only hear the screams of burdens that torture my scar-filled chest.

 

I'am beaten

Iam battered

Iam scared

I'am raped

 

But you

you are blind

you can not see my body though you still think you know my interior design.

 

I guess its better that we live in the dark.

Your imagery is very powerful. I look forward to your future reads.

This is brilliant! Very honest and open, and your imagery is great and on point... It is funny to me that the people that claim to know us so well can not see when we are scarre, torn, and broken. But back to the poem, I truly love it!!!

These are my fav lines:
"My eyes are mirrors of fear.
my mouth is scraped with words that my tongue reads in brail."

Well From One Word-Play Poet To The Next...Always Remember To Write With Your Heart!

Wow...this is heavy! I absolutely love it and agree with it as well. You don't know a person until you unearth what is underneath the layers of skin. Like an orange...we must be pilled in order to know if we have picked a bad fruit. Excellent read!

Your words are so very deep and profound. I love the message that it conveys. I felt this piece to my core.
You did an excellent job and I look forward to reading more of your work.

My thanks to Angelic Darkness for sending the R/R for this poem. I read in amazement that you can write such graphic imagery. Excellent piece of writing. So much feeling of emotion in every line except for the last... but then I don't go along with the "but every thing's all right really" feeling.

WOW! I loved this so powerful and dark, and held my attention throughout the entire piece. Marvelous write. Thanks to Angelic Darkness for sending this to me.

Interesting write...this line grabbed my immediate attention...
...My ears only hear the screams of burdens that torture my scar-filled chest...
...and the last line...
...I guess its better that we live in the dark...
...pulls your words all together...intense piece.

I loved this emotion, real, raw, dark, surrendering, yet releasing.
I will say that you duplicated the word scars in a couple of stanzas,
but I must admit it didn't loose any effect on the other words. Great
job! AD
