I'm

I'm the dork on the bus grinning.
I'm the one trying to catch your eye so I can smile and say hi.
I'm the mother studying your face, wondering where you're from.
I'm the wife of a foreign born man who wants to know the ins and outs of your story as if it were mine.
I'm the stranger who thinks funny thoughts and laughs out loud.
I'm the writer who scribbles herself into existence.
I'm the woman you've never seen.
I'm the woman you see.
I'm the woman seeing you see me.
I'm the woman who looks up and wonders why I always find eyes on me.
I'm the woman wondering is it beauty you see?
I'm the one wondering what the hell people think when they see me.
