bones

 

Underneath my skin

tells all the historys

what you find in my bones

are no lies,

its a map from everything

i did,

 

in my bones

you will see

that i had many falls

in my bones

you will see

the scars

from when i was

small

but in my bones

you will not find

all my lies

or all my loves.

 

on my skin

you will fine

the storys

that shows

on my bones

my skin when i am old

will let that you know

who i was

by the lines in my face

 

true beauty that you will

see show underneath my skin

to my bones.

It is true our skin can only tell so much of a story and we humans have our ways of hiding the story told by our skin by using make up and other things, but inside us, our bones is something we can't change or hide it holds the secrets of our truth.

You have a good on here, the story told through bones. Well done my friend.

Interesting poem, nicely done, reminds me of the movie 'Lovely Bones'. However it shows it is you. May I suggest that you check your spelling? I have read a couple of your poems and there are spelling mistakes in all of them. Please take no offence;
I am old school. Keep writing! Thank you

[MoriartyMesa]

this reminds me of that song on my profile here

"my skin when i am old
will let that you know
who i was
by the lines in my face"
Hard to know another person. Few people will see the pain and hurt hidden. I like the use of the bones showing the bruises and pain of life. A excellent poem. I like the complete poem. Thank you.
