So, there I find myself …
Embedded within the words
Buried under metaphor
Disguised as
What you’ve heard

Do you see me?


I won’t open up the truth …
Only part the veil slightly
Allowing you a subtle view
To interpret
As is likely

Does it fit your life?


See in me who you could be
Or maybe you once were?
Perhaps you’ve lived
All I could dream
And you need not defer

What brings you then?


For once again, I find you here
Lying in the dark
Peering through my curtain
Pointing fingers
At my heart

Would you be so quick to judge yourself?


I have become the victim ...
For portrayal of my soul
In a way you can relate to
Offensive pieces
Of your whole

What if you didn’t know?


I lie hinting at exposure
Running naked through your head
You see only what you wish to
In those words
That you have read

Do they apply to you?


I’m not seeking your forgiveness
I don’t need your clemency
For creation of myself
Is mostly just
For me to see

Why exactly am I here?


To pave the way for others
Who might think the way I do
Encourage them to brave the waters
Infested by
Brain sharks like you


And there ...

I find myself ~
