Poetry and whatnot

Pruning is the way I choose to expose

The myth of reality

I am always trying to be a good story

Writing is the ongoing act of forgiving & apologizing 

To the women I use to be

I stare at myself in the mirror for hours

As if watching a television show

I soak in a bathtub of my flaws

Until they prune into art.

Blythe Baird

I love how poetry has its own way of allowing someone to express themselves without fully letting all of ones thoughts escape.
