All the tattered threads

Vulnerability is beautiful if we allow others to see it.
Loved your poem.

That’s the whole message. Yep.

Thanks for dropping in

maybe thats why I don't like going to the dentist.... I don't want to fix it... I want to be seen... great poem.. beautifully done

Let yourself go.

All the patches & repairs create a new facade, don't they? That last bit...so powerful. Do we remember what's under the facade

Thanks, Confluence. I get pretty annoyed with people most of the time (I can hear the surprise in everybody’s voice)

Mainly because life would be so much easier if people were true to themselves first in the first place.

Your run down from physical reality into metaphor is such a stark shift it’s a really cool trick, we get gripped by the story and dragged into the metaphor when we hit it.

As to being truly seen, I don’t know we get told to mask and cover up from birth it’s hammered out of us bit by bit, policed until we’re society shaped and fit for other human consumption, cookie cutter people with cookie cutter opinions, because let’s face it we’re judgemental, stupid and mob forming creatures that can run off on tangents and burn people to the ground

So if everytime we expose the real us and it’s kicked or bitten or rejected we hide it, and curl around it or conversely forget it even existed.

At least we can be truly human on the page.
