come and look into my soul

see what wriggles and shakes

see what malfunctions and yearns

see my inner places

how they squirm and shudder

how they scream and weep

how they long and ache

 

come and look into my soul

I will display it for you

on these once blank pages

for all to see

transparent and cloudy

reduced to abbreviated form

 

come hear stories

of heartache and triumph

come see a hidden world

once buried

now exposed
