Ok, this is just something I typed up one night.  

I wrap myself in silence, trying to shut you out
You cannot break through the barrier
I have taken years to build
I keep you at arm's length, maybe farther
To keep you from seeing the real me
You say you like me, don't look too close
The truth might change your mind
I write this shit, as if I were some great enigma. I'm not. I'm just a girl, or woman, if you prefer. I am full of opinionated advice and bad habits. I'm no sage philosopher. The answers to the world's problems do not reside in my head. More likely, I am a minor annoyance to the few people I spend time with. Neither deep nor shallow, I am horribly, dully average. There's no need for you to respond to this, don't give it too much thought. In fact, you didn't even have to read it, guess I should have mentioned that sooner.
So I lied . . .
I crave your attention, look at me, please
I must be the center of my world
I'm happily neurotic, when I'm not depressed
And a bit of a god complex to boot
My life is a movie, and I am the star
And director and writer as well
I have a good heart, and a huge evil streak
I'm someone you'll never understand

Ok, so I have a bit of a personality problem. I realize that. Never have I claimed to be normal, nor do I want to be. Maybe the world isn't ready for the real me. At least that's what my therapist says. That's ok, I'm not ready for the world, either. As long as you all accept me, and maybe even like me. (optional, of course) I just like to have a small place in the world where I can be myself, whatever that may be at the time.
