Raw
Exposed naked flesh
Stripped of its meat
Filleted inner guts hanging out
I wish I could stick it all back in
Holding my innards in my hands
Feeling so raw it hurts
Fingernails down a chalk board
Singing in my mind
I'm a fighter I will shove my innards back in
Staple my guts shut
The sword drove home
Dug deep in this soul
Ravaged by anger
He Promised me my soul was his to keep
I have a weapon of my own and i'm going to use it
A warrior of old of the finest order
It's time for me to ride
I will no longer cower in the corner
I'm not meat for the beast
I will learn your tricks
Black magic yes i've heard you casting
Powers that be know this
I will go down fighting.

This is horribly evocative. I winced while reading the opening lines. You have a gift for conveying sex and violence in a way so raw it has an almost physical effect on the reader.
L9 needs an "a" before "fighter", and L13 should really begin with "ravaged", I think. Other than that though a marvellous read.

@Flexy - Do you think all poetry should be sunshine and flowers? I'm sorry I know it isn't my place to attack your opinion, especially as crimsin asked for honest critique, but "morbid" isn't a critique. That's completely subjective. Pain is a part of the human experience and thus should be explored in art. And as for praying a little more, well, I have no words. How is that helpful criticism? I mean, seriously, how is a blithe and patronising remark like that useful?
Also, before I go: "un understandable"? I'm sorry but if you don't understand this then I don't see how you manage to manoeuvre through life without being hopelessly perplexed constantly.

You wanted honesty:

Say hey there. It was an alright poem. However, I feel that it was a bit confusing. I mean, I got what you meant and it wasn't that you used words that confused me, it's just that you seemed to go from one thing to another. I understand metaphors and such, but the beginning seemed totally different than the rest of the poem. So, it was a bit convoluted. Still, nice job!

I appreciate your honesty it doesn't come across but I feel like my soul is raw and stripped by the powers that be..but I understand how it wouldn't make sense..peace Brenda
