Unknown

If you see not my face
Hear not my voice
Feel not my touch
Would you recognize me?

What you think you know as me
Fitting nicely into you narrow perception
Is but only one small part of who I am

Boundaries so confusing 
Can never allow me to enter
Dare to step out of your protective shell
Dare to see all of me
Not a possibility
I must walk away
You will not notice my absence
As you really never knew me at all.
