Plain Sight

I’ve hidden my true self in poetry
My life sometimes woven through prose
Reality masquerading as fiction
History written in these words I chose

In cipher I often tell you my secrets
Fiction interspersed with the truth
Too shy to ever tell you directly
But offering myself should you sleuth

You wonder where the treasure is hidden
The real girl oft hidden in shade
If you search well you’re likely to find her
In these poems and stories I’ve made.
