The Soul She Bares
Can you love her imperfections?
The soul she bares is raw, unfiltered and torn. Weary from the pain she’s endured and the heartache she’s worn.
She’s so beautiful in the way that she still hangs onto hope, if you’re lucky enough to be the person she reveals herself to, understand that she’s trusting these fragile pieces in the hands that belong to you.
Although it seems used and shattered, she only hopes you’ll realize it became this way from a lifetime of investing herself into what she felt mattered.
As bruised as she’s become, she loves in a way that’s fierce. She doesn’t understand how to love small even through her tears.
She’s repaired the wounds, but only with temporary things, something to make her feel numb and get her past the pain.
Her soul is unsinkable even amongst the strongest storm, a rare sight to behold never allowing the disappointments to break her spirit, no matter the lies she’s been forced to hold.
If she chooses you to be the one she trusts to show her scars, In that moment she’s trusting you, she’s opening up her heart. If for a moment she feels you’re going to let her down, she’ll gather up her brokenness and return it to her deepest reaches, somewhere it can never be found.
About the Creator
Brandi Culotta
I love poetry, I just recently picked writing back up after several years. The mindset of a woman who’s been broken is a powerful thing. I write from my heart and it can be raw and real.

Home To Her
Home to her Home, for her it means so much more than a roof and four walls. She’s searched for what feels like her entire life trying to find her way back to that place. A place where her soul wasn’t shattered and the burden of what she carries wasn’t so heavy. During the day she doesn’t belong to herself, fixing meals and kissing the scrapes is what she’s accustomed to. At night she silently weeps, when the house is quiet being alone with her own thoughts can be deafening. She hangs on tight to her pillow, fighting away the demons that invite her company. She closes her eyes and begins to question herself, has she done enough? Is she enough?

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
