I AM TWO PEOPLE

Who am I I sometimes wonder Yesterday I was young Today I am old In May I was a social butterfly Come July I crave solitude One year I am smart The next my thinking is muddled What happened to me From one moment to the next Did my brain suddenly die Has my body given up Where did I go Am I two people Or one? I still catch glimpses Of that other woman The one I used to be She is still there But hiding I want her to come out and play To come out and stay
