Mind Reading

I have a crazy mind that dances to everything..
I read every angle of a word till it's staggering..

Sometimes I crawl behind sentences and hide..
When no one is around I peek and look inside..

There is a need to figure out what is really meant..
Sometimes the answers are not so transparent..

Good or bad I have the desire to explore..
At times I see three words when there is really four..

So this is me, a mind that reads with a poetic stare..
A flaw some may say ,but still a mind that cares..

Love this poem, I find myself almost never looking at things as they are, life is not simple, what makes a person tick, why people say what they say or act a certain way, and at times, it is just simple, beautifull write, love debra

It is certainly not a flaw my friend! There is no flaw in poetic measures, you can use it to magnify the deeper meaning, this inside voice, what is truly meant by what might have been said, written, or displayed! I truly love this in depth message Michael! Great Work!!
