I Shall Give You Bits of Myself

I could tell you my faults but what would be the fun of that? So, shall I tell you of my accomplishments? What if there aren’t any? What if there are but there are so many you would believe I was lying? Would that be bragging? What if you wanted to get to know me yourself? Could I wait patiently for you to get the gist of me? I think I shall give you bits of myself Tiny bites at a time until you know my saltiness And you recognize my sugar My sugar comes in many forms One form is genuine The other form is faux If you truly know me you will be able to discern them.

I really liked this verse. I think we all do this until we die, as we age and change and hopefully gain more wisdom and common sense...

Caren, you truly are an inspiration! To give a little of yourself at a time appeals to me; I feel we all do this in some way.

Great write, Caren. Anyone who regularly reads your poems has a pretty good idea who Caren is. And, I might add, it's a fine portrait!

Wonderful, Caren! I love the idea of giving bits of yourself at a time - I guess we all do that to some extent…

Sometimes I throw the whole ME out there, scaring them greatly.
