Non Semper Ea Sunt Quae Videntur Poem by Ramona Thompson

Non semper es sunt quae videntur
Things are not always what they seem
I could be more
So much more to you
If only a silent man would speak
If only a quiet man would shout
Show himself to be more then just stone
Stone cold stone
Flesh and blood
Are you or aren't you?
Say something
Say anything
Prove to me that you can be someone
Something real and touchable
Quit turning me away every chance you get
Stop telling me that you don't care
When we both know that you do
Mr. Uptight
Mr. Thinks He's Always Right
Tell me
Have you ever let yourself truely feel anything?
Anything at all?
Have you ever let yourself fall?
Fall in love?
Truely, deeply, madly?
Forever
Somehow I doubt it
