Between the Lines

I am here, somewhere
in all the words
or maybe I only exist
between the lines

suddenly finding myself timid
embarrassed by the kindness

I’m more used to the rough edges
still find them so attractive
after all this time

So forgive me if I ramble
this is still so undefined
for now I am more comfortable
let me stay between the lines

This is a fantastic piece!!! May I make a copy of it? Would you mind if I shared it with a few friends? It's cool, deep thinking. Could you e-mail your answer for me, pretty please!

Very thought provoking write. I wonder if real life is not lived between the lines and at the edge; for without risks, we have no love.

I would say that you definitely exist in the lines. . . and not between them. . .

great job RJ. . .

i color inside & outside the lines....makes for a much better picture (at least i think it does) besides .....those lines can be so narrow & the words that fall through can be the strongest & the best ones....helen

ah, somewhere between the lines, I believe I see you peeking out there just a bit, I loved this poem, quite clever.
