Small, quiet, shy.
Timid even.
Forgetful.
Absent mindedly staring
out the classroom window
she forms an early relationship
with the narrator inside
her little blond head.
This is her original self.
Disguised beneath the years
of growing, learning,
fun, fear,
love, loss,
pain, scars.
The veneer of confidence
projected out of necessity
for survival.
Nothing.
Nothing has changed.
She is still
the small, shy,
narrator of her own life.
