My Secret Self Some would say that I'm a witch over men, I cast my spell I'm a woman of mystery with secrets I'll never tell Sometimes I am open and spill my soul to share I let down my iron walls to show the hurt that's there I have my flights of fancy and dream into the night I'm protective of my children and love with all my might I like to laugh and be carefree spin circles in the sun I blow bubbles in the wind, making wishes on each one I like to be alone when I break with tears streaming down my face So no one's here to witness this angel's fall from grace There are many sides to me but inside, I'm still the same I might hide behind a fan but I won’t hide behind a name |

Tara, Great expressiveness. Wonderfully written, a little mysterious. "I'm a woman of mystery with secrets I'll never tell Sometimes I am open and spill my soul to share I let down my iron walls to show the hurt that's there" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Tara, This is absolutely beautiful. I so much enjoyed reading this work of art you painted. Very well expressed and wonderful flow!  ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

Beautiful Tara. . . We all have these "secret selves". . . if only others would take the time to find them. . . then maybe they would understand. . . Wonderful writing. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Hi Dear Tara! You are one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure to call my friend.....what a delight you have been to know over these past couple of years....I can relate to being alone when broken....thats where I go most of the time, coming back when I am ready to accept those around me. Thanks, Tara, for your beautifully written words! JULIE |

Temptress and Wayoutwalt, thank you for reading. I have a picture of me, holding a fan over my face, that I wanted to use, but I don't know how to put a picture in the body of the post. Daniel, thanks for reading. Those lines are among the most true. Jeff, it's good to see you posting again. Believe it or not, this wasn't aimed at you. Irie and Passions Voice, I wrote this in response to a poem on this board. I just couldn't resist the challenge. Sven, what can I say? I'm a multi faceted jewel.  Julie, thank you. As always, you brighten my day. I'm so glad we're friends. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

Tara, this is so interesting. Just kind of flows, and spins gently. You sound like the kind of person I would like very much. Sandra |

Sven, thanks for the bump to the top. Sandra, I thought I'd take a brief respite from the depressing, love turned bad, stuff I'd been cranking out. ) I'm glad you enjoyed.Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

We each have many sides to who we are...but the bottom line is they are all us....and once in a while we find someone to share all those things with...bottom line though is to be true to ourselves....great writing Tara! |

Charisma and BDC, thank you for reading and responding to this. BDC, you're right. Sometimes we are lucky enough to find someone to share all of ourselves with. Unfortunately, we sometimes lose them as well. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |
