Encounter

[creekstersheart]

Peel back my corners
Peek beneath the dusty wrapping
Scratch at the bulbous paint on this canvas
The truth lies beneath the art
I am posing in the limelight
I am lurking in my own shadows
The reality of who I am
Is just a stride ahead
Is miles away and yet
Is in my head
Beneath this rusted tin lid
The jewel of what lies inside
Will captivate you
Teach you
Frighten you
Love you
So delve into these layers
I am eager for you to know
Me
