Me at 6 years old, family picture
Charm is my go to trick
my main access to the world
Probably learned at a very young age
to be cute and funny
Bend my head left or right
Smile deeply to show my dimpled cheeks
A spark in my eye,
a cheeky look darted at people
Get them to smille with me
to get them enthralled
Maybe I am enthralled myself
and cursed in my own spell?
Unable to let go
of this childish attitude
Lost in my eagerness to be loved
all my attention turned outward
When will I be full
and past insecurities?
No more trump card
Bring the curtain down on my acting
Just be me
calm and happy
