untitled

i find myself leaking
bleeding clear,
dripping with regret
flooding fear.

i find myself cracking
opened wide,
guilt seeping into
softest side.

i find myself ripping
at the seams,
tossing aside my
very dreams.

i find myself asking
why it’s me,
when in times before
unnamed “she.”

i find myself dreaming
better days,
found wrapped in impos-
-sible haze.

i find myself writing.

the repitition is nice. "softest side" reads nice, the three "s"es and the "f" give the words (for lack of a better word)a soft, vunerable feel.
i'd b interested in seeing an entire poem from you made up of words that look, or feel, or weigh, or taste like their subject matter.
