Dirty Secrets
I probably should have kept quiet lol
Want to hear a secret, listen you can’t tell anybody
But right now, you're naked in my mind
And my hands, well, they're, mmmm
Use your imagination about where they are
I know I am
~
Want another one, well too bad, here it is
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't ever thought about killing
I'm not saying I ever would, but there have been moments
Okay, I admit I'm not proud, but I've had them, don't tell me
No one's ever gotten that deep under your skin
~
How about another one, wait, don't answer that
I'm gonna tell you either way, sometimes when
I smile at people, I'm really cursing them in my mind, Oh yeah
That's right, I don't always say what I'm thinking, maybe
I'm being kind, maybe I'm afraid, maybe I'm just fake
~
How's this going, not good, well, we can't stop now
So here we go, I don't stick to diets, I forget to work out
I don't always follow through, I'm completely humble
Except when I think I have all the answers, I don't always
Listen, and sometimes my empathy goes on strike
~
Got time for one more, come on, you know you do
I've lied to get out of trouble. I'm not the saint
I pretend to be, I've taken extra candy at Halloween
And drove my car way too fast in the middle of the night
Oh, don't look at me that way, we all have our dirty secrets

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

An enjoyable read, and I agree with Dana - it makes you human or some version of it. Nicely Done!!!
If I'm naked in your mind, your hands are covering your eyes ROFL This whole poem is cheeky, Will
Sounds like you're pretty much human, or my version of it, anyway. THis was really an enjoyable read, Will!
What I truly appreciate this is how in one line you can make me smile, then creep me tf out in the very next. Really, really well done.
Haven't we all? I'm waiting for someone, anyone, to raise their hand & say, "Not me."
Smiling at them while cursing them in our head was so relatable hahahahaha. Loved this!
Sometimes my empathy goes on strike - great line. Thought this was brill.
Dirty indeed... Well done Will!! I really appreciate this piece!!
I love that last line, it made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing your dirty secrets.
