My thoughts are hidden from the world
No one but me can see them
Whatever I think
Will be my thought in whole
And no other will ever know
My words are not my ideas
No matter how many words are spoken
They will never truly contain my ideas
But my ideas can be grasped
Even if the words can never say all of it
My texts are for Your interpretation
Whatever I think behind the veil that I write
Will never be the same as the words You see
No matter how much I try to convey my mind
My mind only belongs to me
Please don't try to contain my ideas
For You are meant to have Your own
Stay true to Your interpretation
Because the variety is my enlightenment
And I rejoice in acknowledging Your truth
My poems are meant for interpretation
The Reader’s own personal outcome
And I relish when it is different from my own
My poems were meant for Your interpretation
Not for You to try and fail to understand Me.

Awesome poem! Keep up the good work 🔥
I noticed that "you" would be capitalized each time it was written. I feel like that signified how "you", the viewer and interpreter, is so important to the author themselves, along with their personal opinions on the authors words. Subtle, yet effective at its job.
Each time "you" was written, it was capitalized, which stood out to me. It nicely emphasizes the authors gratefulness for "your" own opinions in a subtle way. Simple, yet effective.
This poem explores the difference between inner thoughts and the words we use to express them. Instead of seeing that gap as a failure, you celebrate it, accepting the idea that readers will always bring their own interpretations. 5/5. Meta poem
