My poems are
Of me
The prose
Though spare
Reveals layers
That characterize me
As a living being
To myself
To others
I am my words
They burst forth
From my
Untold self
Surprising me
And perhaps others
With their authenticity
And emotions
I can reveal
So much
With just
A few words
That identify
Where and
Who I am
In the world
Words affect me
Expressions
When scripted
Become who I am
On any given day
I am my words
Even if they
Remain just
Passing thoughts
Hovering in
My brain
Until I write them
My poems
May expose
Where others stand
In my life
They never deceive me
They are my words
They are
Who I am
The moment
I expose them
