We often don’t understand our own self.
WHAT I CANNOT SEE


What I cannot see is what
Makes me afraid, in fact.
The fear of the unknown does
Hang on me all the time.

What I cannot see is what
Often makes me angry.
Others point out my faults which
To me aren’t obvious.

What I cannot see is what
Makes me covet it more.
Beauty is more beautiful
If it’s behind a veil.

What I cannot see is that
Which’s always inside me.
I wander in search of Him,
But within me He is.
