The Hypocrite Poet (Me)

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I'll tell you all
What I see so clearly
Because of your poor way
Of hiding
But I won't even glance
At myself.

I can follow your path
Of thinking
And tell you which one
You incorrectly picked
In your cognitive journey
But I won't give you a map
Of mine.

I'm able
To rip away any mode
Of distortion you can find
And expose your sheltered soul
But mine is so neatly tucked away
I have forgotten where I
   tucked it.

It's easy
For me
To unravel you
But I'm part
Of my own knot.

Reason for writing:

    I've noticed that the majority of my poetry lately (past six or seven months) hasn't had anything to do with me personally, and if it did, it was usually in the third person.  Good thing I'm a psych student...I know why I'm doing it. lol
