WHERE HAVE I GONE? - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

WHERE HAVE I GONE? 





Where Have I Gone?Where have I gone?Where did the woman go that was bold and proud of being a girl?Sheltered and cloistered beneath wool and worry of proprietyMoments of past youth filled with joy and gaietyWhere have I gone?Invisible behind the drapes of my own makingAlways thinking like a loser and I'm not worth the takingWhere have I gone?Asking again and againBeam of sunlight warms my heart and I'm on the mendWhere have I gone?Unveiling myself to those beyond my localeWhere have I gone?Coming out from the shadows of my own self doubtsWhere have I gone?Boldest step is taken in pair of sexy high heelsI may make a few spillsYet, I slink over to pull back the curtain I've hidden behind

Where have I gone?

I'm found

Here I am world, look at me


Not just my flesh on display, but my mind's beauty.
