Poem: Truth is I would like to escape myself
Poem: Tell all the truth but tell it slant—(1263)
If you really knew me, you would know…
If I really knew you, what would I know?
Self to any part: If I really knew you…
What's the most beautiful thing you've been told?
What's the most painful thing you've been told?
What scares you most about yourself?
What have you finally come to terms with?
What's something I wouldn't believe about you?
What's a song lyric that reminds you of someone?
