Draw me;
Draw only what I reveal
Draw not my scarred heart
See not my wrinkled past
Dear pencil holder;
Look not beyond my eyes
Look not beyond the smile I present
Ask not the lingering questions;
Of the heart and soul
Of the tears you see
Of the pain you read
Of the bitterness you suspect
Pencil holder,
Draw what I desire to see;
A perfect image
A flawless me
Eyes that tell Nothing from my past;
A life well lived perhaps…
Draw me,
Or
Draw ” me” not!
