Understand me. . . . .

My deepest emotions lie within this boney skeleton Covered with peach colored skin. to protect from prying eyes. There are those who would greedily expose my thoughts Only to throw them away when their curiosity dies. Understand me! My tender feelings are not up for your display, unless I want them to be. Unlike the common spider, spinning a web of gossamer  in the open breeze, to catch the thread-blind fly, My web is spun within my mind and traps no one. If you should snag my web, you  might pull it ever so gently and draw out some common bond we have or, you might pull out my anger and jump away.
