Open book

I have been an open book from a young age.

If I don't say the words, it's clear from my face.

I used to find that difficult, wanting to cover what is truly here.

Now I can and will do nothing but reveal myself page by page.

My joy.

My anger.

My emotion.

In every emotion.

In every page.

I let my face speak.

My shame.

My guilt.

My discomfort.

In every pattern.

In every page.

I am present.

With every page.

With every line.

With every word.

I celebrate my being an open book.
