Myself, When I Am Real


Myself, why I am real
is hard to come by
normally I am
smiley
energetic
a tad shy
friendly
and filled with
creativity
but inside
and when I am alone
I am self conscious
about how I look
and a little scared
at the big
vast expanse
of the world
But I like myself
when I am myself
and I love myself
when I am alive
with ideas
Myself, when I am real
is hard to come by
but it comes.

    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
