You Don’t Know Me

KnowMe, poetry

A friendly face

A welcome smile 

‘Gentle’, ‘nice’ how it riled

What they see as kindness;

Interpretation ’soft’

No clue of the strength her pain made her steel

Not weakness, resilience she learnt

Wisdom; seeds grown in her own pit of darkness

The Unnurtured, nurturing, 

Rising above, starting from nothing

With real eyes see what she’s become

Beyond the surface a courageous soul

Standing up, again and again when life took its toll

The care and healing she bestows

A gift of her own alchemy flows

What you see isn’t what you get

The fire in her burns stronger and yet

Sometimes all she wants is to be held, be free, safe, 

To be heard without judgement

At her own pace

Other times her body enflamed 

A burning desire to run and seek life

Explore, claim, before it’s too late 

There’s more to this woman than meets the eye

A feisty minx, fun, powerful, untamed

Cross her and you’ll be sure to know

Sit with her and she’ll help you grow

Her chest beating wildly

The passion, the drive 

Trying to live as though it’s her last joy ride

Making mistakes, learning fast

You think you know her, its just the start

She’s all of these things, more still

to reveal

An enchantress, a warrior, a lioness heart

As always words are my own. 

Much love beautiful souls 🙏✨💚✨ 

Xx
