And you´ve got to know that I´m an actress
I can hide my feelings
if I want to
if I don´t want you to see what I´m feeling
but sometimes
I really do want you to see
but you don´t
or maybe
you can´t
because I´m hiding my feelings
subconsciously
keeping them them from you
I don´t know why I do this.
Maybe it comes from years of trying to be opaque
so I won´t be vulnerable,
but now
I need you to see
past these tinted windows I´ve put up
I´m trying to make it easier for you
but change comes s l o w l y...
The window to my soul is now translucent
not perfectly clear
but
please
say it´s clear enough
for you to be able to see
what I´m not saying

I can totally identify with this one, Stephanie.
I have this one character in a story I'm writing, (one you haven't read yet) who says, "I've been blind to everything but keeping secrets. Now I don't even know I'm keeping them anymore," I know that doesn't really describe what you felt when you wrote this, but I think that it's similar. Sometimes we act so much that we're not sure which one is real.
Anyway, I just totally was weird, but please forgive my strangeness, I just wanted to let you know, you're not alone.
