Reflections

Sometimes I'm a little Child--
Small & insecure,
Afraid everyone will look down on me.
Better to be invisible than looked down on.

Sometimes I'm a Hearthrob--
Girls fall at my feet; Guys scowl at my smile.
I'm more Romantic than the Moon.

Sometimes I'm laid back--Nothing really bothers me,
I don't really bother anybody else.
Life is good.

Sometimes I'm a Punk--I can't be bothered by anyone.
I can't listen to anyone.
I can't be listened to enough.

Sometimes I'm a Ghost--I look like a lot, but I'm not;
I'm empty air
Not even full of sound and fury.

But all the time I am Me-- A shape with many sides,
A complex Polygon, made from conflicting parts,
Showing one side at a time.
