Jekyll and Hyde of Her Personas

By day she is a wife, daughter, mother, neighbor. Only her husband knows that she transmogrifies at night. Tight neon costumes, wild hair, intense makeup. She becomes a rock star that is unrecognizable to most Who know her as daughter, mother, neighbor. Her closest friend has no idea when she enters the club Who Dynamo Diane and the Dizzies is. She loves the Jekyll and Hyde of her personas. One gleaning the admiration of the status quo. The other attracting the ones the status quo despises, They are her tribe though. They are all her tribe. So she rocks on, hoping to be able to keep up her façade forever. As she needs both worlds to satisfy her Gemini self.
