Shallow River

I flow,
My wounds so open
But, so well hidden.
I feel shallow and cold,
For what I fear
and what I have come to disgust.
I have so much to give
But, yet, I feel so inadequate.
Each stone rough,
Each stone polished,
Fill my existence.
As well, all the life inside me.
Some see beauty I can't find.
I feel more as a resource
Than a pleasure.
I hope I discover it soon....
For my confidence is soon to die.
