Selective Reading

Skip this introduction,
Go right on to chapter two;
I wrote it just for you (you, the reader so advanced).
Still, you never took that chance. You must
Read these words again.
Again.
You forget you're not alone, but
There's four more eyes at home.
It only takes just one to see
The sadness that you own.
Seems the heat has kept you hidden
In the shadows on his face,
You're wishing you could leave
With all your memories erased.
Wipe your nose off on your sleeve,
Forget where you are not,
And bring yourself to read
The words you've ignorantly fought:

"Believe in choice:
In theirs, in yours.
Love will make 2 + 2 = 9.
Try not to read between the lines.
Instead, ask for true meanings.
Your word is your thought is your body is your life.
Keep your word.
Keep it beautiful."

Remember, sleep will only come
When your day is good and done.
Wait!
I think I see the pinking of
A slowly setting sun...
