"On my sleeve" Written by Flor De Maria

On my sleeve

It is all right here, plainly visible

There are no hidden agendas, no secrets

No uproar moments of mysterious surprises

It is all visible, comprehendable

All that is needed is of acceptance

Do not let your vision be blurred by experience,

nor gain understanding from your own perception.

There are no scars that haven't healed,

No past wounds that salt could still sting.

Every reminisce of a bitter sweet goodbye, forgiven

All I am is right here..

Should you be blind, could you?

Clearity would be your new vision.

My voice utters peace and forgiveness.

Every old flame, old ''friend'', every enemy,

a sheer memory of what I use to be.

All that I am is here, plainly visible..

Let me bare my scars from my chest,

I do not detest what it all has been.

Not the many sleepless nights I faced,

the countless lies told, there were many.

Nor the pain onced believed to be endless,

no regrets, for every scar a surprised blessing.

Opening doors to something new, perhaps me.

Preparing me, molding me into something better

Now all that I am is right here..

Who I am, All I am, I give freely

There are no skeletons to expose.

Shameless to my past mistakes,

Only being perfect in imperfection.

Simply humbled by the chance to change,

We all need changing.. 

I am renewed to this world unknown

no longer frazzled in untrust and fear

Rather, armed in optimism and faith

All that I am is here, I am exposed..

Still baring the scars on my chest

While wearing my heart on my sleeve.

I am truly at peace...
