My minds eye

I'm a dancer
in my head-
gliding ever so gracefully
across the stage-
in my reality
dancing is not
my forte
those two left feet
of mine
trip me up on flat ground-
-
I'm a singer
in my head-
with a voice like an angel-
in my reality
I make birds cringe
as I belt out those songs
off key as ever-
-
I'm a top model
in my head-
strutting the cat walk
sexy as hell-
in my reality
not so hot, not so sexy
and my ex
once not so politely pointed out
he was always high
when we had sex-
-
I'm a high power executive
in my head-
wheeling and dealing
the go to girl
with all the answers-
in my reality
I'm just a worker drone
a small cog
in the big wheel of things
toiling away in my corner-
-
I'm a social butterfly
in my mind-
witty, funny
top of the list
at everyone's party-
in my reality
I hear echoes of my ex
once again
telling me I'm about
as interesting
as watching paint dry-
-
I'm a world class writer
in my mind-
tomes of my writes
sitting a-top the best sellers list
feted, quoted
the darling of the
literary world-
in my reality
I'm just your average
Josephine
still learning how to
use my words-
-
my mind allows me to dream
a little-
I can be amazing, witty, and funny-
it gives me wings
to fly-
it gives me the strength
to face the day-
it allows me a chance
to forgive myself-
to accept myself-
just the way
I am...
