If you love something, set it free....If it comes back, it was meant to be...If it continues to fly...let it soar...And have faith that God has something better in store...

I have no last name
Only a first
My body is not my own
I live in another's
No one sees me
Unless my hostess gets
Sad or angry

I live in the depths of her mind
Where dark lonely waters muddle
I welcome the dark
Though i don't mind coming out to the light

I am completely different from my hostess
She is sweet, shy and safe
I am mean, bold, and reckless
But that is how she needed me to be

My name is Gloria
This is who i am
This is how i will always be
If you don't like it
Stay away from us
