LJ Idol Exhibit A - Introduction

[audreybuttercup]

I am the famous Lady of Spain

I am the girl who’s lost in the rain

I am the great Spanish Inquisition

Or maybe I’m just the maid in the kitchen

I am the thief that steals in the night

I’m the damned fool who turned off the light

I’m Mother Nature, Queen of the glen

(I’m almost done, I just don’t know when…)

I am the rose far beneath bitter snow

Good God how smaltzy will this stinkin poem go?

Let’s get serious, lay it all on the line

I’m Batman, Green Hornet, and Wonder Woman combined

I’m strong and I’m hopeful, I’m wise and I’m hot

At least that’s what I tell them so they won’t think I’m not

Who am I really, sometimes I know

I’m a girl, in a house, in a place going slow

Or maybe I’m really going too fast

Afraid of the future, weary of the past

Perhaps all I want is to really be free

Shake off these shackles, show the true me

That’s why I’m glad I took up this challenge

(Aren’t you glad I didn’t say orange?)

I can be quiet or I can be loud

Stand by myself or be part of the crowd

I can forget what they want me to be

Let go of the hurts, to them and to me

For just awhile I can pretend

I’m funny, I’m brilliant, I have lots of friends

Charmed life and family all can be mine

No pressure, no stress, no waiting, no time

Perfection incarnate, beauty and grace

Highly in favor, lovely of face

So many options with this fake name of mine

Rivers to cross, mountains to climb

Who am I, who am I, who could I be?

I’m the girl of my dreams, let’s find out, let’s see….
