    Just Me

    I thought I knew myself
    Strong willed and kind
    I thought myself gentle
    Full of purpose of mind

    I thought I knew the person
    That I am deep inside
    Yet others see me differently
    Seeing only what's outside

    If underneath the surface
    They look deeply past the shell
    They would find a softer me
    One that's wanting to be held

    Strength is said a virtue
    But I believe that strength
    is hiding something else
    that should be studied at great length

    So when they find my inner self
    With open eyes and really see
    They'll look at me so differently
    They'll see the real me.

    Oh how well said- it could have been written for many of us as we catch the vibes of others. Who ever said '1st. impressions' are what we should go on-quite mistaken. It takes many times, and you often find out how wrong you were with that '1st. impression!' A true and great write!

    I really like this one. Nice flow and ending. The second to last stanza (strength is a virtue...) doesn't flow as nice as the rest. Please read some of mine. :)

    You have a way of making me feel like I know what I'm talking about. It's nice to see it from someone else's perspective. Thanks Dahlusion and thank you for the nice compliment.

    Seems society is judgmental and unkind in looking for the depth in a person. Judged by looks and wealth rather than the individual. But there are a few that will look past the book's cover and these are the one's with qualities that is worth calling your friends.

    Thank you Gentle T. Truer words were never spoken. I find these people to be so rare but well worth the friendship. I find the iner qualities much more appealing. Welcome to my friends list.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
