surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
More Than Being Unknown
I hold myself in bed at night, grasping and pulling at my skin. Frantically tugging and pinching it tight, so that nothing and no-one gets in. I'm at a loss of imagining, what parts of me might be exposed, if the skin came to be unshackled, exonerated and decomposed. Would I be condemned to ruins dissolving into a puddle of waste, exposing down to the transparent core, the imposter that I have disgraced.
