You Don’t Know Me. Poem by Michael Moorcroft

You Don’t Know Me.



I have my secrets,
That I will not tell,
For they are mine,
That I would not sell.

Don’t try to second guess,
You’ll get it wrong,
I’m like chess,
And I can’t wait long.

Reserved and silent,
I’ll sometimes be,
Myself to myself,
For you don’t know me.

Like an isle,
Far from land,
With tiny bridges,
Built of sand.

You don’t know me.

Hello Michael, it's nice to 'meet' you. This is a nice reflective poem. It's difficult, writing about one's self - I know, I've tried it - but you've done well at it. Well done. Warmest regards, CJ Heck
