Maya Angelou - A Conceit 

Give me your hand

Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.

Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.

For me
Give me your hand.

Dear Maya,
I'm really not sure what this poem is about or what it means.

the central theme of this poem is horrible. i had read and read over and over again and the meaning never seemed to hit me. it, to me is just a buncha of scribble put together under the title of a 'poem' its so vague and bland and is so oblivious.
