There's so much more to me than you see.

I am two people. 

Who do you want tonight?

I can be shallow.  

I can be feisty and difficult. 

I can party and have fun, even flirt with disaster 

I can be beautiful and seductive 

Buy me a drink and I'll show her to you.

Is that who you want?

Or do you want the quiet thoughtful woman?

I can be introspective yet curious about the world around me.

I long for intelligent conversation. 

I appreciate the beauty of art.

I can be happy curled up with a book and a blanket with a glass of wine listening to the rain and wind.

Somehow you get to decide who I am.

I don't have the power to choose.

How do you know me?

How do you see the parts that I hide from the world, the parts that I hide from even myself? 

I hide behind laughter 

I hide behind being the party girl

I long for acceptance 

I long for what might have been.

But how can I get that if no one knows the scared little girl I am.

But somehow you see me.

How do you know my soul?

How do you know me?

BECOMING INVISIBLE

As light begins to fade
Color turns gray
What happened to the splendor
That in youth shown all around her?

The noon day light is bright
Radiant color catches sight
O' desirous eyes
And youthful minds

The day grows old
Dusk begins to take hold
She does not want to let go
Of the allure that she has known

Where does beauty go?
It disappears and she is gone
Where does beauty go
When the color has faded?
Behind gray she hides

— The End —
