Naked Truth by Michelle Olds

To change your perception of me

I wear my heart on my sleeve

A perception foreign to me

Just to get you to see

 

Then I realize

It is not that you don't see me

Reflection

I am the mirror image of you

 

You are scared to love

While I am scared to unlove

Hostage to our thoughts

Conflict

 

Mind over matter

What matters is the heart

Kindred spirits

Fighting to be masters of our own fate
