Just the two of me...
I live a lie most days
although I tell the truth
What you see is what you get
and yet
I'm not who I seem to be
the inner me, the outer me
a contradiction
a mystery
I am the person that you know
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
I share my passions
I bare my soul
but you don't see
my imaginary life
the one I keep all to myself
the tales I spin
the songs I sing
the life I live within
an imagination like mine
never takes a break
never stops creating
so daily I fantasize
i'm in disguise
moving along at a normal pace
inside my head I run a race
i'm two in one
a dual existance
and we dance

Whoa! What an interesting piece.
Thanks for sharing.
This is really delightful and sounds great read aloud, too. The line at the top "just the two of me..." cracked me up -- I love it. I really like how you blended outer and inner.
:)
I absolutely love the way you sewed these thoughts and actions into two. It sings.
I like this - exactly what I'm thinking most of the time. A wonderful piece.
"I'm not who I seem to be
the inner me, the outer me
a contradiction
a mystery"
I like that stanza!
Glad you found the island!
