Raw and Real
February 23, 2015
Saw saw saw
Back and forth
Life takes it over
Again and again
Each moment
Numbs my body and
exhilarates my mind
Farther and farther it goes
Raw
Real
Pain
I am open
Open to the world
Collecting leaves and dust
Once and a while
A drop of water
Rolls over the contours
Of times both
Good and bad
All the times that are raw
Real
Open to the world
Showered with rain
Tattered from pain
Open to the world
Because real is raw
And raw is real
And sometimes--
It is all I can feel
