"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


It's make believe

Like a cloak, I drape it around myself

So no one can see

The very real and very vulnerable me

 

In your presence I pretend

Sometimes I'm Lacey Morgan Shaye

But never me

That's too hard to be

Except when I am by myself

 

If you do not know me

Then you cannot see me

If you cannot use me

Then you cannot hurt me

Usually

 

I took the cloak off one day

Huh

I guess I wanted to, experience

I showed you who I was inside

 

My mistake

 

You used me and abused me and

I will never be the same

I will never be me again

 

So I don my cloak and

Re-enter the game of

Let's pretend
