The missing pages
The lines purposely left blank
Hid the ugly truth
Protective silence thought wise
Impersonated loving

well done on this one!
I loved it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I especially liked the last two lines. I understand them!

you write very interesting tankas....may i state that some people feel that articles(a, an, the) are considered a waste of syllables in senryus/tankas?

nonetheless, this is going into my library
