Dim dam the stark bright lights,
they're far to stark, not to my like.
Showing all in graphic real detail,
I feel exposed and naked as well.
Every inch of my goosebumps flesh,
except for my socks, I'm looking a mess.
Scars and blemishes all over my necked skin,
and that big birthmark like my sister Jim.
Silly how it never bothered me back when,
but then again I was no more than ten.
When cuts and scrapes and moley things,
I began it get and they all made me scream.
If not a pain of the physical type,
emotional cuts add wrinkles of my life.
This sunlight is just not my best light,
it shows too much of what happens in strife.

NICE POEM!
Some do go to the extreme with how they feel about certain things, or maybe it is just an excuse to do these things that this is the only time they can get away with them.

you're turning out a great batch of poetry by the themes of this contest as it continues, Suseann. when just reading the word "stark" coming to this contest I too thought of light, and you extended this to show how that light seems to pull the exterior blemishes of ourselves. it's only exterior though...
best wishes to you in the contest and it seems you're the very first entry!
