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
