Mixed emotions
Mixed conflicted feelings
Emotions tumaltous turning
Me inside out
As I foam at the mouth
I regurgitate truth
Spewing honesty out
Nothing left unsaid
Judged nontheless
My innocent pureness
Tarnishes everything
With truth I smear myself on public walls
For all to see
Laughing and mocking
Pointing fingers
Nothing covers me
Left bare
Left open
Like a carcass in the wild
A feast of wagging tongues
But I endure
And take upon me lashing
Of I told you so
And didn't you know
Bitter medicine
I swallow this gourd
My humaness I volunteer
Because perfection is an obscure notion
We carry upon everything
So at fault I am
Take to slaughter Mary's little lamb
Make them understand
That no one is above reproach
Anyone can be lost and found.
