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 propriety
Moments of past youth filled with joy and gaiety
Where have I gone?
Invisible behind the drapes of my own making
Always thinking like a loser and I'm not worth the taking
Where have I gone?
Asking again and again
Beam of sunlight warms my heart and I'm on the mend
Where have I gone?
Unveiling myself to those beyond my locale
Where have I gone?
Coming out from the shadows of my own self doubts
Where have I gone?
Boldest step is taken in pair of sexy high heels
I may make a few spills
Yet, 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.
