No Barriers

You know me
Better than
The world sees me.
My substance,
Yet unformed.

Confession of a soul
Read before written.
Pointless to hide
What can't be hidden.

  1. ha. great truth in those last two lines
    there are not barriers we can errect
    that would keep him from seeing us
    for who we are

  2. And in a way it is a comfort to be known that well, and that one can't hide even what one would want to.
