The Invisible Me

I have come to love writing poetry from time to time. I find it therapeutic and a very personal way of publicly expressing the real Peter Nicholls, the person I love to be. The message of course applies equally to you and to everyone you meet. As you read it, let the real you free and enjoy being your true authentic self.

Then allow yourself to take charge of creating your future, so that you blossom into the mature human being you were born to be. It's never too late.

The Invisible Me

There is a me you cannot see,

A me that even I can’t see,

The person I was born to be,

The soul that lives inside of me.

Sometimes I see a fantasy,

The younger me I used to be,

A Peter Pan, forever free

To stay the person I love to be.

You would see me differently,

Perhaps someone you want to see,

A portrait that you paint of me,

The person you presume I’d be.

Please accept the reality

Of an inner me I long to free,

To be the person I was meant to be,

And to love the person I know as me.

Our common responsibility

Is not to assume who others might be,

Don’t put them in boxes, nor steal the key

That allows their talents to set them free.

We all are different, you must agree,

Unique in our talent and ability,

We yearn to allow the world to see

What we can do and give and be.

My message for the world to agree

Is for you to be you and me to be me,

To follow our passions and set them free,

To enjoy being you and enjoy being me.
