Free To Be Me
Can we really be
known by another.
Known and understood.
Others may hear us speak,
read our words,hear us
opine,recite our lines aloud,
discuss our art,judge
our work ,but do they really
know.What part of our
façade is real and true,which
part we withhold?What is our
shame,the reality we alone
may know,private thoughts
concealed,perhaps confessed
if intimacy allow.Yes,we and
God alone know all.He won't tell,
will we,perhaps, if free to be!
Inspired by Delacroix's diary quote.
