I’m a complicated woman
I’m complicated being
Because I’m nothing like I seem
So sorry to those
Drawn to this shell
Sorry that I smiled
And made you feel well
Now more than ever
It is evident to me
My mind is enough
To keep me company
Still, I try so hard to conform
Stretch out my arms to fit into the mold
Fill my days and phone with
Normal everyday folks
Try as I might I cannot deny
The mold breaking beneath my feet
Perhaps mold-less me is free
I can finally feel as normal as can be
Why must it be?
Why must I need to have and show
What they all want of me?
Aren’t I enough, just one of me?
Living is enough
Lying is tiring
Happiness is with me
As hard as it is for you to see
I'm a complicated woman
I'm a complicated being
In your eyes
I will always be

Thank you from The Complicated Woman

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?

Society is a labyrinth of mirrors designed to trap the soul. True individuality is bought at what first seems a dear price but eventually reveals itself to be a steal. Well-wrought! Best wishes in your artistic endeavors!
Your poem resonated with me so deeply. I loved it!
