Gemini

G ood God! How I’ve tried,

E ven outright denied

M any times the persona you see.

I nside of my skin,

N either conscience nor kin,

I have you and yes, you and that’s me!

You've enlightened me with this piece, Gerard. I married a Gemini. He's sometimes still a mystery to me after 19 years! Donna
