A poem about how I felt when my sister called me a closed book. Please review it?! |
| 'You are a closed book.' I am? I did not know. I thought my cover was open, pages turning, words continuously being writ. This may be but not under the light of people's glances as I had imagined, but in secret locations hidden from view. 'You are a closed book.' Maybe I am. This I realise now. I keep my pages of tormenting fear, mislaid hopes and quiet passions veiled by a cover so blithe. A cunning diversion many writers use. Me? Oblivious to my natural ability. 'You are a closed book.' Yes I am. I admit that it's true. But I'm not a diary padlocked securely. It just takes effort to lift my cover and time to read the words on these pages, reluctantly mine. My uninhibited writing has a qualm about judgement. Take heed of this when reaching for me. Be gentle, please. |
