"From the Inside Out" by Alice Van Wart

The person you see
isonly part of me

she is brave
she is free
she lives
independently.

I can take her places
she fits in easily
her manners exemplary
parents like her
she lies to talk
she has degrees
and always some man
willing to accomodate
the love she gives
generously
but with discrimination.

The other one
I can't take anywhere
she bitches and swears
sees rain in sun
she cannot love
she is the one
behind the eyes.
