x is for x-rated.
A sweet girl
Quiet and shy
Took forever to reveal
What she had buried inside
She was taught
Virtuous and pure
Spent too long pretending
Though it never suited her
When she looks serene
Almost sedated
Calm innocence is her mask
But her thoughts are x-rated

About what sandra thinks
Sandra is a writer, blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy, too. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.
Perfect! And perfect X word choice, what a great job…

Definitely. I only slept 4 1/2 hours last night. I’m going to need a nap!

I’ve been up for an hour now. It’s 7.15am here and I actually slept pretty well last night, first time in ages.

Thanks! I had originally considered possibly being a little more, um, graphic, but then… not so much. 😀

I always think this about “the quiet ones” anyway – you’ve just confirmed it! 🙂

People are always so shocked if I say something off color, if they knew what went on in my head! They’d fall down.

Same here… with people in-person, anyway. Here (online) though, I don’t think anyone’s very surprised anymore… 😀
