How do I explain thee?

How do I explain thee?
maybe, a tad misconstrued?
Or like a tree out in the desert,
Wanting to exist, but completely nude?

Or maybe like a mouse, afraid to be seen;
For it to live is for it die.

Or maybe a tad perplexed?
Afraid to be with, but afraid to say to goodbye?

Just like the wind hitting against an unconquerable object,
becoming exhausted...losing logic.

Just to reiterate,
How do I explain thee?
Dare I ignore the question;
Or admit that is me?

*Okay...I wrote this one back in '92
I didn't know what category to put it in...Oh well...I hope you still like it and understand it.
