Sleepless nights I dream of things
that seems to be, initially
fantasies of a boy
These dreams tend to focus me
on what I want and who I am
Role models and mentors help to shape
who you see so casually
So casual I seem to be
but my mind races frantically
Suave and cool are not my descriptors
although my shell tends to be
That shell hides me from view
to show a more likeable me
But hides the true me
Behind a wall of ********
