Dr. Seuss With Ennui

I wonder often; just what do you see?
I'll tell you tomorrow what I think of me.
Though the truth of it all might lie, lost in between....
What you see, and I think, and we each believe.
I try so hard to decide what to be;
That I'm building up legends and buried beneath.
You think I'm loving but I know I'm mean,
And you think I'm strong and I know I'm weak.
So here in my head I play hide and seek...
Hoping and dreading that you will find me.

you're more transparent than you think. Everyone has the face they put on, but most of us have seen you without your makeup and we love you just the same, maybe even more

It sounds like you are writing about ME, Sara!
It irks me sometimes when people think I am much nicer than what I really am!!
Oh if they could only see the inside sometimes!...Love Terry

Are you playing hide-n-seek again, sara? Come out, come out, wherever you are. Ollie-ollie-oxyn-free. Oh, well, I give up, phooey!

ah, ennui. even its mere mention provokes a sigh of boredom.

i dont think youre transparent. yet not opaque. but maybe thats because i generally know what youre thinking behind what youre saying!
and you know how i feel about people who are all fake and ridiculous (which you are not) so i'm fairly certain i know you well enough to know that i know. or something.

ps. i love that pic of your eye!
