A short and simple explanation of me.

Pale paper shields making what is obvious,
leaving room for eyes of curious.
A preacher once called this human mysterious.
Yet, God knows I can be as revealing as an open rose.
Feeling your emotions make mine hurt more,
I am afraid to open this door.
To not be accepted as this me,
for I can tell you,
but still you will never see.

    This seemed to be very honest and revealing, I liked it.

    I loved this! Especially the last two lines, “for I can tell you,
    but still you will never see.” That really ties it all together.

    Nice, very open, real feelings expressed so well.

    I love this piece. The style – a sort of stuccato rhythm of free flow verse-thought and the sentiment – that we can never fully know another person – wonderful work.

    Best wishes.

    Sincerely,
