“TO KNOW ME”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
If you wish to know me
please listen to my words,
but listen well to my plight
for I am not what I seem,
outside to within…

My demeanor may be harsh,
non-caring, and selfish,
but my heart is soft,
giving, yet broken…

Know then this fragile heart,
and you will accept me
for who I truly am…

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

How beautifully written. Funny how the poetry we write expresses ourselves far more than the persona that we show to the outside world.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Bill,

There are so many layers to a person. What they sometimes show the world is simply an armor... to protect the loving and gentle heart they protect so fiercely. *Hugs* to you. Very well said my friend.

I need a darn quote. *chuckles*

To truly know someone is to know how they feel within their heart. Sometimes, that inner being is hidden because of the hurt that is deep inside. Nice words.
