My Alter Ego

I've had an 'out of body experience'
So you can't blame me for what I did
My alter ego perpetrated the crime
To do such a thing I'm too timid

I'm totally innocent of this heinous act
I'd have had to be devoid of all morals
Listen I still do have a few of them left
With that you surely can't quarrel

This heinous act of stealing a kiss
Had crossed my mind a few times
But being such a timid soul that I am
Never thought of crossing the line

So I plead 'not guilty' of any wrong doing
It was Oscar my mischievous friend
Tends to run amok every once in a while
This dude I'm always having to defend

But I give him props he's about to confess
To absolve me of any naughtiness
The only one thing I could be guilty of
Is fantasizing to the point of excess

Adorable one, Jack! I can't imagine you being shy... but that's cute. I'm a very shy girl compared to most, but I have my moments of spontaneity. : ) Anyway, I really like this one! Always, Laura

As a teen, I was extremely shy and self conscience! It wasn't until I had success as a graphic designer many years later that I finally came out of my shell! Now look at me!!! LOL Love, Jack xxx
