Know Me

This was written back when I thought I knew everything- funny how life changes...

Enjoy the smile on this face, but don't believe it- its a disguise.
A mask to make the true me easier on the eyes.
Don't worry, right now I'm fine and I will be
until I'm not.
Stop trying to read me
You will get it all wrong

I promise to decieve you

because i know
Presently

you cannot handle the true me

I will lead you along my maze of deception

Just to ensure that you fully appreciate my perception
You don't know me and you won't
Until you let go, so just let things flow
Don't worry, I'll let you know exactly how I feel
Just as soon as I know that my emotions are real
And beneficial for me to reveal
Don't get me wrong- I'm not mean and I'm not that tough
If you get to know me, you'll find, simply, a fragile little girl

Afraid of the hurt and pain that exists in this world

But beware, this little girl has spunk and edge

Well versed in being a bitch, well known for being intense

Yet those who know me refer to me as sweet and caring

Underneath all the ragged edges is a large heart

ready to fall and be consumed by compassion and mutual understanding

I just need to know

can you handle my mind?

my complexities? my passion?

my curiosity and refusal to believe

in unfairness and lack of equity

my passion is action

i will not sit still

if you want to be with me you will need to be

supportive of what i say and do

and do not expect me

to put my visions and ideals on hold just for you

want to know me?

let me know

can you handle my mind?

are you worth my time?
