Who Are You? Poem by Laurie Crilly

Who are you?

What thoughts and feelings lurk behind your mask?

I don't know you.

I can't feel what you feel or reflect your thoughts.

Will you open yourself?

Will you share with me and let me inside of you?

May I visit your heart?

May I wander within the chambers and learn of your loves?

Can I roam your mind? Can I know the experiences and secrets that you hold inside?

I don't know you,

but I want to know you more than anything.

Who are you?

Will you allow me to know you?

The true man behind the mask?
