Look Through

I wrote this in the eighth grade, just a poetry excercise ("see what you can do with the line 'some things aren't what they seem to be'") but it turned out pretty well, so posted it.

Some things aren't what they seem to be,

Look through the outside shield.

They just might not want you to see,

What the inside might yield.

 

If you let everything out,

The outcome may be good.

There will be no cloak of doubt,

Shrouding you like a hood.

 

No more prickle of anxiety,

As you walk into the room.

Be all that you can be,

And you will face no doom.

Even though you wrote this in 8th grade as an exercise, it's nice, simple, and an enjoyable read. :)

It's unique reading from your earlier writings, similar to witnessing the seeds of a flower being planted before it fully blossoms. Nice to see your early beginnings, and to be able to instantly see within just a couple clicks, just how much you've evolved over the years.
