A single slice reveals them

An apple on the table
hides it's seeds
so neatly
under seamless skin

But we talk and talk and talk
to let somebody
in.

By Naomi Shihal nye

I think this relates to the book A Long Way Gone. He is angry on the outside and lonely in the inside beacuse he isn't a solider anymore and because he has no family. The soldiers put him in a home for soldier boys to get them help because he is a boy not a soldier. They need to keep talking to him so he will get better and not be so lonely.They keep talking to him so he will listen and go back to being a boy because he is scarred really deep with the people that he had killed.
