Dressing Up

Just for once
Pretend
To be something
Someone
From another time or place
Robotic
Piratical
Olympian god

Lying, you say
Play acting
A childish game of pretend

Perhaps it is

But children know the truth of this

The clothes, the lace, the parasol
May not be the modern you
The you projected to the world
But it reflects the something of yourself
You keep
Deep
Inside
The someone whom you hide
And shut away
The someone others
Never understand

Shut it away no more
And play
Be open to the you
You can learn from
The you you can become.

  2. Some of us spend out whole lives trying to do that. It isn't so easy.

  3. With nothing left to hide there is nowhere left to hide so I may as well be out in the open and make it easier to see who is targeting me.
