I used to be Harem all bubbly and new friendly and sharing inquisitive too My aura was glowing all cheery and wild taking the chance to share what's inside It wasn't so easy to open that way not what I'm used to not easy to say It was a mistake that I learned to regret sharing too much I blush even yet And so I changed names to create a new start a different persona a different heart To avoid all the clatter and anger and strife to hide from the hecklers and brighten my life This time would be different no one would know I'd be very careful and never would show The silly old Harem with words of pure cheer try to contain her and so I did fear That someone would know her by the words that I write my style wasn't hidden when brought to the light And so I got caught playing this game they figured it out I'm one and the same Again they grew angry all hostile and mean attacking each other the writing grew lean Confessing my sins and what I had done my multiple names my multiple fun Gradually they cooled the anger subsided my writing continued so glad I confided Content for the moment as the new Tangerine Charade and taboo and others were seen The negative aura hoovered like gloom filling this blender filling this room The fun is all gone there's feelings of doom I just don't belong I can't play their tune I guess there's enough of their type to survive to keep the place going to keep it alive I know that there's others who feel like I do they've told it in verse and e-mailed me too I feel like Lot's wife who turned into plaque I leave here with hopes that I'll never look back ~ |
