So many times I have wished I could just reach into the depths of my soul and expose what lies beneath I have tried time and time again to show the truth that my heart holds within If I could, I would lay it out for all to see, like an exhibit It would show that it is free from taint Words cannot penetrate the skin, let alone the soul, of one who is hidden behind the walls of fear and insecurity My words bounce back at me and fall helplessly at my feet, so I sweep them away and try again When I run out of words, I will pack up my heart and move on quietlyBirth sign: Leo
