Who are we when no one is watching?
I used to wonder this, as a young girl,
Sitting in my bed, looking up in wonder
At the subtle shapes my ceiling made.
Who are we when we are alone?
When the world’s judgemental eye
Is off us for even one second,
Who do we become?
Perhaps a baker, a dancer, a singer,
Maybe we finally work up the courage
To paint that one picture,
That one we always dreamed of...
