Haley Diane Volpe "Exposed"
© 2003-2004 Haley Diane Volpe 
My skin is cracked
Weathered by time
The cruel hand life dealt
Has not been kind nor gentle

Layer upon layer
Cracking and peeling away
The inner woman
Left naked and exposed

Nothing takes away
The dirt and filth
Accumulated over the years

Buried deep within
The truth starts to emerge
And is shown
To all who surround me

Rooted in the foundation
Of love and understanding
From women of my kind
My skin starts to heal

Like the butterfly
I am set free
from a cocoon of pain
I let it all go

I soar with newborn wings
To amazing heights
Never before reached

The wounds that scarred 
My inner heart
Have at last closed
I am finally at peace.
