The three faces of me
They say every person has three faces
The first, I show the world
The wife
The mother
The one who has her life together
The second, I show my family
My mother knows her
My sisters know her
My husband and kids know her
Even friends get to see her
The third, I don't show anyone
She lives in my dreams
In books
In memories
Too weird for this world
Too wild for this world
I hide her because they wouldn't except her
I hide her because I have to keep her safe
She is strong and fierce and relentless
She is scared and anxtious and helpless
They wouldn't understand her
Her world is too colorful
Too filled with fantasy
Too scary
Too dark
She is filled with flowers
And wonders
She believes in miracles
And sees the good in everyone
She is just a little girl dancing in the rain
Someday she is a princess
Somedays she is a siren
Somedays she ven gets to be a mighty red dragon
She is quiet and loud
Happy and sad
She wants everything
She wants nothing
