So you think you know me? Because you've seen me cry? Because you know a few of my quirks and my little obsessions. Because you know a few secrets (that I've allowed you to know). You think you know me because you've seen my bare skin? Because you've watched me fall asleep? Because I confide in you sometimes because I feel like if I told anyone else my secrets would be revealed? You think I you know me because you've skimmed over my story. But have you learned to read in between the lines? Have you ever stopped to realize that icebergs are much bigger, much deeper than we first see? That the saying "tip of the iceberg" is quite actually the best phrase to describe some people, to describe me. I'm the book resting idle on your shelf collecting dust as you fill it with more books. Books that you will pick up and read and reread again and again. But you will forget that I am there. My chapters are too complex, too hard for you to understand. My words don't fit, they don't tell the story you want to hear. You skimmed over me enough to get the gist of me, but then you stopped before my story started. You come back to me sometimes when the other books on your shelf are missing but before you even get halfway through my first chapter you put me back down because you found one of your more interesting books to read again. So I collect more dust as my chapters grow with knew stores, more words that you will never read. And when someone asks you "is that a good book?" You say yes but when they ask you what it's about you're left stammering because you never actually read me at all.
