Is it too late to hide from you
or have you met my soul?
I wonder if I've told too much
to play a different role.
Say, if I tried to write about
a wild and crazy night
I spent out partying last week
I'm sure you'd say.........''Yeah, right! ''
You never would believe it
(and it never would be true)
but I wonder if I tried to say
the F-word....what would you do?
Would you send me scolding messages
and ask me ''Why the change''?
Would you even notice
if my writings were more strange?
Have I uncovered so much
that you know as much as I?
Do you think you know just when
I'll laugh and when I'll cry.
It helps to think you know me
but it scares me I'll confess.
There are so few I have let in...
for reasons you can guess.
