Emotion

I use life as my inspiration,
To tell these stories of mine,
Written words are my emotion

I apply pen to reflect a frown,
Color to portray a smile,
I've been told I'm hard to read

But it's not that I am vain,
I elect to be undefined,
So no one gets to label me

I am my own secrets,
I choose to be unknown

To those who make the effort to see,
I can be quite conspicuous.

But only if I'm left to my own.
