No.

Stop.

That's not ME they are seeing.

I'm a colorful, free-flowing goo in a shell.

I keep myself a secret, but nobody can tell.

I have them all fooled to believe something else.

This way I can keep me all to myself.

Why would I want to share an aspiring nurse?

A humerus mind?

A heart so diverse?

But sometimes it's sad I refuse to share.

I just have to remember the world isn't prepared.

People are not yet ready to be

shown who I am, filter-free.

Jaime

JAY-mee

Not a definable word. Just me.
