I'm a complicated person.
but easy to unravelled.
I've developed in stages,
but only show the end results.
I don't ask for understanding,
and I don't expect to understand.
I'm a stranger to my own,
but they read me like a book.
I'm not open to love,
but love easily.
I can be hated,
I can be loved.
In a group I can feel lonely,
and I hate to be alone.
I love to be among people,
but at times I shy away.
I can be compassionate,
and I can be unkind.
I don't show my true colors,
but I'm also like a rainbow.
I'm myself to many,
and many to myself.

Have you been watching me?  LOL.  Great poem here, walker.  I can so relate.

One of life's strange and mysterious laws -- that of paradox...  the sooner we come to accept it -- the sooner we can flow with it.  A contemplative read.
