Right?

In All Innocence Poem

No one shared

No one told.

In all innocence she continued

Lips painted red with true smiles.

No one spoke

No one said.

All kept their thoughts behind teeth

Rotting white with politeness

In all innocence she continued.

      I love pairing a poem to an image. Sometimes I even learn something new while I am doing it. 🙂

    I love how raw you are with your words. You put the message behind a very thin veil, but there is nothing more to cover it. This style really speaks to me.

      Honesty is very important to me, so I am glad I could capture the rawness of truth in this writing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

    I can relate to this from my personal experience. People think I am innocent and haven’t been through a lot, when in fact, I’ve been through a lot but can’t bring myself to talk about it. Thanks for sharing this piece!

      I love this! It’s always nice to see a larger bit of poetry from you. I really understand the feeling of holding something in that someone else doesn’t know x
