A Million Me

There's a million me, but you've seen only two, 
Maybe there is a man who'll discover the rest, 
Who will read the unwritten, not simply look through, 
Who will free me from all the unsaid in my chest. 

My eye color has many invisible hues, 
But you'll see them if deep in your heart there's a sky, 
I believe you can't walk half a mile in my shoes, 
I won't blame you for that. I will teach you to fly. 

I play many new parts in the worlds I embrace, 
There's a million pieces my puzzle contains, 
Those broken or stolen are hard to replace, 
So I'm trying my best to protect what remains.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
