Beautiful dreamer

I sleep and then seem to dream

and fear what I am

what I will become.

I must put on my make-up,

foundation, rouge, blusher -

diminishing me

treacherous even

covering up hopes and fears.

Sometimes I say to myself

'I've nothing to hide'.

Oh, I must be very dull

or a mere cipher.
