Description
I stripped off slowly and stepped insideFound the glass walls of the house of lies
The terrors reflected on every wall
The wicked dancing in a great hall
I wandered around and felt no fear
Nobody would touch me here
Deep inside my personal hell
Where the fallen come with goods to sell
Here I was, exposed and bare
No one to look, no one to care
I stepped outside and stayed unclothed
To expel the demons that I loathed
I walked the streets both night and day
Whether the sky were blue or grey
I spoke to others of what I'd seen
Exposing the truths behind the scene
And as I spoke I felt it lift
The heavy feeling began to shift
Though condemned I felt no fear
I did not shed a single tear
Because once the truth became exposed
I felt relieved and quite composed
For now there's nothing left to hide
Now I am free to walk outside.

A very neat set of couplets. Not a perfect flow, but enjoyable to read. Naked thoughts and mental explorations. Free at last, with nothing to hide. Great stuff.

This is really amazing!
What i love most about your poems is that you (unlike most poems i read) aren't scrounging for just any word that can rhyme with the word from the previous sentence. Your poetry is genuine and well-thought out.
You are really a wonderful writer. You're one of the very few authors on DA that i look forward to reading their work <3

This is not autobiographical by any means. I was trying to put myself in someone elseโs position. I have never been unfaithful, but I have been on the receiving end of the unfaithfulness.

Oh! I see what you mean. Well, it's there for you to interpret however you please. That's what the audience is for

I do enjoy it. It is interesting to see your own words from someone else's point of view.

What a coincidence! I use my overwhelming feeling of self loathing to cover up my confidence in my work! We are two peas in a pod fer sure.

I've only just started writing again recently after 2 or so years of writers block. It's lovely.
