Outside
I hang myself out to dry,
to see if the warm breeze will comfort me.
I hang myself out to dry,
to see if the wind will carry me away.
I hang myself out to dry,
to see if the sun will cast a spell on me.
I hang myself out to dry,
to not stand alone and wet inside.
With the naive thought that someone
will come with a warm blanket.
I take a step, I’ve made my choice.
I leave behind the ifs and don’ts.

Uroczy wiersz….tyle w nim Ciebie…bardzo go lubie!
“Outside” resonates on so many levels – the speaker’s fear of aloneness, of commitment and the dream of escape and of better worlds. Great work.
You got it Carmelinda! Thank you for reading my work! I really appreciate it! 🙂
