Sometimes I get wrapped up in this
notion of what it must be like to be
normal. Alas, has never happened
in my case.
Not to worry, I prefer myself as I am,
even as the fucked up mess I seem
to be. Having said that, I peek over
the fence from time to time, and do
wonder.
Amazing women, coping with life
as if it were no match for their skills.
Dressed to the nines, professional,
charging straight ahead with no
hesitation. I find myself wondering
what it must be like?!
I also recognize that I was indeed
this woman during my 41 years of
teaching. There was also the 'me
within' wondering who that woman
really was.
The term Libra comes to mind, an
actual fear that my scales will never
ever be balanced . . .
the woman i was
she will never be again
hello new lady

bothered me. If only I'd known that one
day my differentness would be an asset,
then my early life would have been much
easier." ~Bette Midler
