NEVER

I'll never let you know me.
Never let you see me.
Never let you know what I feel.
Never let you know what I really think.
Never let you know what I want,
what I need.

I'll hide it so well.
A smile.
A frown.
I'll be the clown.
I'll seem like I'm down.
I'll turn all my words around.
You'll only see the "me"
I want you to see.

But, I'll be back there,
somewhere.
Hidden from view.
Out of your sight.
A shawdow in the night.
Shading the light.

For you see,
if you see
Me
you might
know me.
and if you
know me
you might
show me
who I Am.

And then
I would have to
face my facad.
See for myself
My Self.
There would be
No Place
for Me to Hide
Inside.

I would have to
Know Me.
And I'm afraid
that that
would be too much
for me to See.

So
you can never Know Me.
because I can Never
Know My Self.

Hi Steve,
I am sad to read this although I identify with it. I think you show of yourself more than you know. I for one am glad to catch a glimpse of you and your style. Well written and understood. Gregg
