My life, a map,
never before discovered
[traveled]
never once truly searched
truths never found.
Beyond the cover [skin]
over mountains of fear
through valleys [sadness]
lies a treasure,
a smile,
that is only seen
if the sun shines right.
Figure, beauty, eyes, a voice,
each seen with a passing hour
but no map and you’re lost
within the truth [a mask]
worn by the road side attraction
believe me or not
-travel further
and you shall
find me.-

I never truly change... but what you see is never honestly the truth. That's my interpretation. Enjoy?

Interesting Yet Thought Provoking
I wrote what I did for the verdict Sweets because well you had me churning my brain on what this poem was to me. at 1st I could visualize all of this taking place thus where a perosn is driving along a long road and is slightly lost so they continue to go on till something looks familiar then after that I also visualized a camper lost in the woods and not knowing where they are so they start to take off in one direction till they hear some sort of noise and follow it to civilization. any ways those are just 2 ways I came up with what I did but I did enjoy your poem. you made me want to reread your poem a couple of times and well come up with my own theroys. Touchin on yours interpretation of the poem I liked your point of view as you describe least to me someone who constantly changes who they are but never truly shows their real colors and who they are. any ways a helluva Grrrrrrrrrreat poem here Sweets and keep up the good work.
