Listen carefully
even though you think
you know me;
You cannot be me.
You do not live in my life,
or wake up in my skin,
or sigh through my lungs,
or weep through my eyes,
or laugh through my mouth,
or feel through my heart.
That aroma will never take you
to the same place it takes me.
What you see
is not all there is.
There is so much more
living inside me.
