Not Just Words

Not Just Words

A Poem by Ivory
"

Let me introduce myself...

"

Some may wonder what goes on in my mind,

But to understand you must look deep inside.
My words I use to describe, thoughts and feelings I tend to hide.
To understand me, you must give me respect,
Never under estimate my intellect.
Know that I am the best at what I do.
I can use the simplest of words,
to convey a complex thought to you.
When I write I hold nothing back,
I express my views with grace and tack.
And though some may feel threatened or hurt by what I say.
I can’t apologize for voicing my feelings this way.
It is who I am, and I am fortunate to be verbally gifted.
Using my words to heal and be uplifted.
And if my words can help others understand and get closer to me.
Then I’ll continue to let my emotions run free.
I am so much more than what your eyes can see…

Honesty in expression and lifestyle is a blessing ... your write drips volumes of self confession and examination! We are, who we are ... and ... we should not compromise just to suit another! Nicely penned and presented ... :-)
