Shedding

PoeticBiscuit

I feel imprisoned within this skin I wear,

Restricting me from being who I wish,

So let me take this knife and shed,

Just as a snake would surely do,

 

Release me from these burdens,

Let me be born again anew

No color. No body image.

Just me and my raw emotion.

    Those burdens become released as experience comes into you life and that experience will enable you to become just you.

      We are the sum of our mistakes rather than successes. Thanks for reading and for those words.

      there are a lot of things one might assume from these words... but assumptions are not the best things to base ones objective critique on...

      Nicely penned my friend and muchly enjoyed..... Objective achieved..... Neville

        It is left open for interpretation. I know what it means for me but you’re able to have a meaning from it for yourself. Neither one would be wrong!

          that's poetry for ya....

          I'm thankful for you and myself too that you have shown us there is also a more relaxed aspect of your personna.

          I hope this piece is a reflection too the past and that the emotional rebirth has already taken place here on earth with you. For your words here are again truly distressing.

          • PoeticBiscuit

            Rebirth has came and gone but yet I feel there is more shedding to come. I’m still young after all!

            This truly reaches out - may the new skin weld itself into a great future.

            • PoeticBiscuit

              Sometimes that’s all we can hope for. Thanks for reading Michael !

              I think I see some raw emotion when I see some of these writes...this one was was good. Will keep a look out for your new poems!

                I appreciate that! I’ve been attempting to mix lighthearted ones with my deeper ones.
