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
