Can you love the version of me
I don’t, I don’t let anybody else see?
Can you look beyond what’s visible
To appreciate what’s consequential?
Can you let go of your senses
And see the world as I do, free of all pretences?
Can you love the version of me
With which even I don’t very much agree
Can you accept
To be forever at odds
Knowing full well
That sparring has its own rewards
Can you love the version of me
That’s like a shy child hiding behind a tree
Can you draw me out and break the ice
So that I don’t unduly pout but play nice
Can you love the version of me
That didn’t get the memo to be
A little less of what I think
Instead of every bit of what I feel
Can you love the version of me
That truer than truth and set me free?
Can you love the version of me
I don’t, I don’t let anybody else see?

If people accept the way we are “relations will bloom” and everything will be simplified. Good one:)

Oh you’re very welcome ( Poetess)
Do you know that after a year and a half… I still remember your beautiful Ballroom poem! Though I have forgotten the title, darn it. 😊 It was
a truly memorable poem!
