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 your 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 posibility
I must walk away
You will not notice my absence 
As you really never knew me at all.

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." Be blessed.
