I am holed
you can see through me
you can see inside of me
or you can fit yourself in
.
I am naked
you can clothe me
you can ignore me
or you can hide me
.
I am helpless
you can keep me
you can dump me
or give me away
.
whatever it is
no matter how
treat me kind
for I am yours..
.
.
.

I can see a newborn looking at his mother who is torn between love and hate. “Do I give him away or do I claim him?” Beautiful write!

We truly are mostly at the mercy of others, aren’t we and when we are transparent we are wide open to others who wish to harm but, being wide open is the only way to fully be alive too. Lovely piece!

I do believe your heart chakra is opening.
Congratulations.

This poem is a really beautiful open-heart plea for love. Nice rhythm, and style , and a very impressive ending.
tq elaine..
This was a really interesting write. The first stanza reads almost like a riddle, more like an object, and the others read more like a person. The lesson of kindness and treating something/someone gently is timeless, though. Nice write! 🙂
