Add To This Spice With Equal Excitement

Have you ever been mistaken as shallow?
Because of an image your presence gives?

Have you ever been thought of as less than human,
And more like a novelty to entertain those inquisitive.

And those private conversations,
You conduct in the strictest of confidence...
Soon becomes those whispers gossiped,
With you as the topic on misiformed lips.

You will get over it,
IF there is no attempt to refute innuendos.

Instead...
Be creative.
Start some outlandish rumors of your own making.

Why go it alone?
Add to this spice with equal excitement.
No one will ever know...
How you keep rejuvenating your peace.

Why go it alone?
In your home why be the one up late,
Because of what others say...
Keeps you from a restful sleep.
Be creative.
Add to this spice with equal excitement.

Remember...
No one will ever know...
How you keep rejuvenating your peace.
Or how you manage to appear so youthful!
