The Invisable Heart Poem by Heather Kemper

I used to write my feelings
so that others may understand.
Just what I was thinking
inside my heart and in my head.
Then one day I started seeing,
the view from a different glass,
that the heart was invisible,
the ink just as bad.
What was written on the paper
couldn't seem to find it's way
to an understanding of this person,
and the truth's the ink would pay.
Instead they saw just writing
some words that sometimes rhymed.
They saw a poem on some paper
missed the feelings from inside.
So now on this simple paper
with an ink that's stark and white,
The color faded so you remember
the heart that finally wins your sight.
