I read this poem at work.. It made me feel stripped bare.
The Woman I am
The WOMAN I am
Hides deep in me
Beneath the WOMAN
I seem to be.
She hides away
From the stranger’s eye-
She is not know
To the passers-by.
She goes her way,
The WOMAN I seem,
But the WOMAN I am
Withdraws to dream!
The WOMAN I seem
Goes carelessly-
When love goes by
Does not seem to see.
But the WOMAN I am
Knows sudden fear…
And hides more deeply
When love draws near!
For love might look closely
Perhaps.. and see
Her beneath the WOMAN
I seem to be!
