I Know Myself, Therefore I Know You All

like cracking an egg,
writing a poem is
often very raw and
far more messy than expected
and more rarely
it is bitter and rotten
with an unexpected potency
that one may never forget
and though an egg may
seem protected
it will spill open
and expose its' ugly interior
from the slightest intrusion
possibly leaving sharp white shards
beneath unexpecting fingernails
but an egg can
also breath new life
from its' fragile cage
that it has been
in spite of fear
locked within

Don't really think the title fits. I suppose egg - refers to the collective whole. This was an insightful metaphorical piece. Work to build the first half of the title more ~ how you know yourself. You have a strong sense of self. Leave the insecurities at the door, or in the wastebasket. Streaming perception, in this, savvy writing, Wes. ... .. best care, sjg |
