    Naked Before You
    I am a flawed woman
    Broken and mended
    time and again.
    There are monsters
    that hide
    beneath my bed;
    Crouched in closets
    lurking in my head.
    There are demons
    forever trying
    to possess
    my weary soul;
    They try their best
    to destroy me
    once I’ve rebuilt and
    again feel whole.
    There are vampires
    that court me
    in hopes of
    a drink,
    They suck at
    my life-force
    while I teeter
    on the brink.
    I am a flawed woman
    This fact
    I do not hide;
    I stand before you
    with my chin
    held high,
    And wear all
    my scars
    with pride.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
