Open Door

Watching the butterfly

 

Its not everyday I open

up my doors to unassuming

eyes to see through everything

I have hidden and tucked

in nooks and crannies

 

(Thank you Mr Haitian Rum,

Thank you Mr Tezcal Tequila)

 

Its not an everyday thing

for me to say

 

"Here I am, ugly flaws

and all, for your

inspection"

 

but I do, I have

I will again

because that's just

how much of an emotional

masochist I am.

 

Pick at the scabs

trip in the craters

bring a flashlight

my heart isnt an easy

maze to make through

 

Neither is my mind

for that matter

but you're taking

it upon yourself

to be a savior

to a very tired girl

who doesn't see

the point in needing

saving in the first

place.

 

I won't stop you

I may laugh at you,

cause it's been attempted

before, and yes, as you ask

yourself,

 

"Is she worth it?"

 

I think Im worth the

midnight crazies

I am worth the clenched

fisted stubborn arguments

 

I am worth it and then some

 

But then again, I live

with myself

 

every

single

day.

I like this, a lot. You have a really unique writing style. I love the stream of consciousness feel combined with your unique voice. I think this is something we can all relate to, but something most of us don't write about.

I especially love the part about being 'a savior to a very tired girl'. I think we all have that desire to rescue a person we believe needs it. However, not many stop and think of how it's viewed through the other person's eyes.

you just need a three hour back rub...

An intense piece friend, I really like this one :) It turns around at the end and grabs you! Poppy

I have to say that you again take us on a journey really deep into the soul...

that part alone left me in a state of eye opening shock, how often we start judging ourselves and use artificial stimulants to help us through it.
Amazing write.
