"Some girls try too hard"

In a truly mundane party environment, I am an undeveloped adolescent. Undeveloped intellectually, yet challenged by the constant, stimulating conversation.  

Yes, it is strange.

Yes, some people don't act like themselves.

Yes, sometimes I don't even act like myself.

Poem

Dream-like epiphanies, so personal

and so 

intimate,

come through me,

go into me,

flow out of me.

They are lucid,

fluid 

thoughts,

such beauty and

simplicity,

the omitted conscience yearns,

and longs

for momentary recognition.
