X-ray Poetry Prompt

The Multi- Sided Boy 
by Alyssa Varsanyi

You have so many sides
as if you were an onion
as if you could peel off each layer of your personalitiy
as if you were a food triangle pyramid 
telling me which parts of you are good and bad


Pulling off a layer,
revealing something new
My own brain spirals,
as I see something new.


Your mixed personalities,
with all your different faces,
sending me mixed singles
about the human race


How is it you can leave me there?
With half finished sentences and a glare
The next day your new layer appears,
and a full paragraph is near


Peel, peel, peel through your mind,
and through your heart,
until you have stopped upon something grand.

Then talk to me:
with the most pure,
and fine,
and special,
layer you have.
