You don’t know me.
Don’t tell me that you do.
“More than anyone in the world”
It makes me angry when you say that….
“More than I know myself…”
Seriously????
for…
If you really knew me…
You wouldn’t say that
or the other things
that you do.
You say that
I am as cold as ice
That I’ve built walls~
If you knew me,
you would know,
those are things I don’t want to hear.
You think you know me
Oh but then,
you don’t know me,
or where those “walls” came from.
No….
You don’t
know me
at all.

A beautiful little poem. No one can know me except myself and sometimes I even surprise myself by me!

Thank you for your insight! I love it. I am just finding me… starting back as far as I can go… hence; the pic of the child lying on the floor looking in the mirror.
I do know that others may know glimpses but only God “KNOWS” the parts of me that I don’t even know myself… so how can they know me better than that? Sigh~

Powerful message, Diane. I couldn’t agree more. I think the person who truly knows the deepest parts of me is God and myself. In fact, I don’t even know myself entirely. I’m still discovering who I am.

Yep. I think you are so right. I don’t know me. Therefore no one knows me but God.

Reminds me of the powerful words in a song by Ray Charles: “You think you know me well, but you don’t know me.”

Genie,
I am not sure where I got inspired but all the little snippits weave through my heart and head and I cannot deny that the possibility of them all leak into my words! Thank you for reading! That means a lot!

Sadly true
No one really knows anyone
Everyone beautifully pretends to be as ….

Does anyone really know us…, even those closest to us? We are in a constant state of changes, affected every day by circumstances, experiences, health, emotions, and so many other factors. For me, i would rather feel that people would accept the me that I am than feel that they “know” me. You have some really valid thoughts here,
My first visit to your site and it was a moment to enjoy. Best to you.

I love this… you might want to listen to the song on my blog today by Kerli… It’s one of my favorites when I felt this way… Sending prayers and blessing for a Merry Christmas!

I just listened to it! I love her! Thank you for introducing me to a new fav!!!! Funny, I hate it when I am told “I know you better than you know yourself!” WHO says THAT>? I mean seriously… smile… such a great song… I can’t wait to hear more of her things! I wish I had a good voice when I was younger… I have so many lyrics in my journals all packed away.
