Identity

An intellectual beauty
systems and structures of logic and rationalizations,
telling of realizations of the world and the people within it
he'd rather she'd stayed within that self-definition

A gushing, blushing sweetie
heart throbbing at sunsets, gentle kindnesses, warm hearts
and moved in empathy at the pains of others
but beneath the blushes and gushes she proves him wrong

A cold and unnerving enigma
the definition most don't go to
more telling of the onlooker than the looked upon

But no matter what her self-understanding may be
the real truth is

Neither she nor any other really knows what her identity is

and she don't need identity anyway
