Would you like        To know me Peer into the        Abyss of my soul Look behind my         Closed doors See my fears         Frustrations degradation     And what would you think         Should I reveal A life of pain         Disappointments, anguish Could you understand         The efforts, the struggles What of the excuses         Would they be acceptable     What of the needs         The hopes, the aspirations What would you say about the works         The follies, the sins Would you try to understand          Judge , condemn Could you find some compassion to spare            Maybe forgive , console     Would you like to know          How I feel Could that make a difference          In your mind Would you like to hear          What I have to say The explanation for the actions           Answers to the questions     What would you use to define me           The sins, efforts, excuses The fears, frustrations, follies           The works, struggles, degradation Would that definition be final           Define the me I am trying to be And then would you           Claim to know me.   [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
