I Wear My Halo Well!

I wear my halo well

Me thinks

Veil of resistance

Well behaved

Socially acceptable

Playing the game

Allowing others

To think as they may

Always accepting their

Done in my day

I wear my halo well

Me thinks

Apparently

But then……..

Never admitting

Too shocking to tell

If they really knew

My life and how

I danced in the moonlight

Swam naked and free

Laughed with my lovers

Ran in the rain

Partied till sunrise

Drank with my friends

Slept in on Sundays

Prayed in a tree

It’s not that my Soul

Is going to hell

Just that I’ve done more

Than you want to know

Lived more and hurt more

Laughed and cried

Hidden my feeling

Deep down within

I’m me and I like it

Proud in fact

Of the lessons I’ve learnt

The journeys taken

Friends I have made

Places I’ve gone

The life I have lived

The Me that I am

Those on the outside

Don’t really know

Close friends closed secrets

The pain and the challenges

Safe from others eyes

 I wear my halo well

Don’t you know
