Who I Am

I am one, but there are three in me.  Most days two fight for dominance, and, depending on my mood, the second one may win.  I am three, three crammed into one.

I am the book-worm, the quiet girl in the library no one knows is there.  I am intelligent, creative, and shy.  I think about my second personality, wishing I could have the courage to let it out more often, but I know that would not be very smart.

You see, my second personality is the classic rebel, not giving a dam what people think about me and making a difference, whether in my life, someone else's, or the wold.  Sometimes this personality will slip out when I am with my friends or under high stress situations.  This is my most dangerous personality, but not the one I keep most hidden.

Deep down, I am a dreamer.  I believe in unicorns, angels, leprechauns and a pot of gold waiting at the end of a rainbow.  I believe in true love, fairy tale endings, and that magical kiss in the rain.  I believe there is a place where there is no war, no suffering, no death.  I believe in magic; I believe anything I am told.

My third personality, you might say is a naive child who has not yet been taught what to believe.  No.  It is a child, but I would say she has not yet been tainted by the horrors of this world.  She had not been touched by stereotypes, racism, sexism, dirty minds of teenagers, the degrading mental state of America - she is PURE.  She is INNOCENT.  She is my soul.

My first, I let show.  My second, a strong desire I sometimes cannot control.  My third, who I truly am.
