Another Version

Is there another version of you
Where your eyes aren't this pretty 
Your voice not so husky
Your hair unkempt 
Your body frail?

Is there another version of you
Where your laughter isn't lilting
Where you aren't always smiling
Where you let yourself be?

Is there another version of you
where  you cry in the open 
And appear weaker to the world

Is there another version of you
The one thst you hide from everyone else
Where you aren't such an extrovert 
Where you aren't always chirpy


Is there another version of you
Where you are cold and shivering 
And not always this warm
a version that you keep to yourself?
