Hiding Her Selfness
Prancing through cautiously
Secretively and stealthily
She knew her mind
and her soul
Careful to keep her wall up
To keep her emotions inside
the fortress of self
She revealed nothing
Fearful of the odd ones
All of the others actually
She kept her essence safe
By sharing nothing
Her mask firmly in place
Her eyes revealing only what she wanted them to say
She pranced through pretending she was one of them
Knowing she was not
Thriving on her single purpose
Which was to keep herself
to herself
So she could retain her safety
