Halves

There is a half of me

That begs to be noticed

It dresses me in dazzling colors

Pleading for attention

 

It throws insane words past my lips

Waiting for eyes to turn to me

It dyes my hair a blazing red

And fills my eyes with the ocean's hues

 

The other half wishes to hide

Behind curtains of hair

And the designs of a jacket

Trying to shrink back into dark corners

 

To be seen would be torture

And isolation death

But there is no place in this world

For someone who hides in the open
