Inner Me
Inner me
I have these dreams
Do they mean
I should be one with them
Make them come true
But they are so devinely deviant
They come in shades not of green and gold
But more of, dare I say
Purple and pink and rose coloured taffieta
Do these delicious delicacies
Mean something to me
Am I destined to become
A hidden "her"
Should I, really, should I
Step into, or, is it, step out of
I don't know
The fear eats me from within
If its true though
Do I claim it
Do I proudly proclaim it
The fear eats my soul away
The choice is mine to make
Those colours twist me
Bend me, beckon to me, I step out,
Close the closet door behind me
It's not easy, fear grips me
I hate to look but cannot look away
My eyes open slowly
The mirror reflects
The woman I have become
I have these dreams
Do they mean
I should be one with them
Make them come true
But they are so devinely deviant
They come in shades not of green and gold
But more of, dare I say
Purple and pink and rose coloured taffieta
Do these delicious delicacies
Mean something to me
Am I destined to become
A hidden "her"
Should I, really, should I
Step into, or, is it, step out of
I don't know
The fear eats me from within
If its true though
Do I claim it
Do I proudly proclaim it
The fear eats my soul away
The choice is mine to make
Those colours twist me
Bend me, beckon to me, I step out,
Close the closet door behind me
It's not easy, fear grips me
I hate to look but cannot look away
My eyes open slowly
The mirror reflects
The woman I have become
