Raw is the cloak I haven’t been wearing
It is the uncooked emotions I’m continually bearing
Raw is the juice that is squeezed from my soul
It is the unfiltered story that flows uncajoled
Raw is the process of being true
The honest experience, whether blissful or blue
Raw is the vibrant color of pure
Which non-existent filters ensure
Raw is the beauty of being
Where your heart rests instead of fleeing
Raw is the exposer of truth
Freedom experienced is your proof
Raw is the nourishment of life
The extinguisher of rife
Raw is the great intimidator
For life’s perpetual spectator
Raw is the wound exposed
So a life may experience repose
Raw has been a savior
Freeing my soul of misbehavior

*Sunday Scribblings is a weekly writing prompt – today’s prompt is, ‘Raw’.
I just came across this website for the first time and I can’t believe that the prompt for this week is “Raw”… how perfectly appropriate.
