Look and Learn

If you ripped open my flesh
so my soul would be exposed.
Then you would be able to see
what you may or may not know.
What would you see?
What would you find?
A spirit with strength
finely at rest with her
own peace of mind?
Or maybe the demons
and the evil of the past.
Would come to the surface
with a sinister laugh.
Don't be afraid.
No don't hide your eyes.
Force yourself to look.
What you see may make
you wise.
Let the lessons that
I have learned.
Let the truths that
I have embraced.
Bring courage to you
so that your own truths
you now can face.
