inside me napowriomo #4

if you turned me inside out what would you find?

well you would see the pain I have endured

living here and knowing a few fucked up people

again you would see the love I’ve known

tears cried, smiles and laughter shared

if you were to turn me inside out

you would see I am made of flesh and bone

and nothing more

let’s take a walk in the park together

because the weather is just delightful

    Stan,
    The reason for naming him Flaubert was because he looks a writer doesn't he? lol

    I like the very straight-forward interpretation of this prompt. Getting past all of the self-deceptions, we're just flesh an bone and touched by the simple things, like a stroll in the park.

    I like that. Your last lines turn the whole poem inside out too.

    Inside
    a feisty
    terrier
    a little warrior
    that fronts up
    for battle
    in blue eyeshadow

    Rall,
    Ok, maybe I don't quite understand what you are exactly saying here. Or maybe you know me way to well ;)
