Emotions leave evaporating trails, <br />Thoughts… cloud around, <br />And just as suddenly, disappear! <br />Warm nothings, form today. <br /> <br />Its nice and quiet, <br />No doomsday, on the horizon, <br />Nor the day of deliverance, quite my way! <br />But for whispered questions, that trail. <br /> <br />I’ve shed thick-skin, sometime ago, <br />Soft new skin holds me together now, <br />Lovely yes, but more vulnerable too! <br />Abrasiveness cuts deep, without that thick-skinned cloak. <br /> <br />Turned inside out, <br />I feel the breeze move through me, <br />Rain, cleanse my being, <br />Warm sunshine, carries me far above. <br /> <br />My sheer cloak, <br />Doesn’t shield anything, <br />From eyes that can see, <br />My reality!<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/turned-inside-out/
