I stand

  in front

    of you
  
I can see,

  See...
  
... Me

Now is it all so

    true?

All of you...

...is all of me?

Deep within

    your layers

      of skin
  
Reflecting;

  inner self,
  
    myself,
    
      my dear
    
        friend
      
Where do I begin?

     I am you,

And you are me

Everyone else:

too blind to see

        That
    
We're all One,

        Truly
The people in our lives are merely mirror reflections of bits and pieces of our inner self...
Like puzzle pieces we are to one another... in the end, we are all just one giant puzzle.
(The puzzle analogy just now made me think to write a seperate poem on that too... hmm...)

YES WE DO BLEED ON PAPER
NOT BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS
NOT BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLES TO TALK TO
BUT WE DO BLEED ON PAPER

WE DO BLEED ON PAPER
JUST BECAUSE A PAPER WONT BETRAY US
IT WONT CRITICIZE US
IT WONT JUDGE US
IT KNOWS THE WORD SECRET
AND HOW TO APPLY IT
BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS THERE
DURING OUR DARKEST DAYS
THAT IS WHY WE DO BLEED ON PAPER

WE BLEED ON PAPER
BECAUSE ALL WE NEED IS A PIECE OF PAPER AND AN INK

the way you love
says a lot about you

but the way you break
says a lot about where you came from

Thank you for being patient, I like to lose myself in what I read so it will take longer for me to finish, but once again, thank you for being a portal to a new world.
