Something You Are Not

It takes years
and tears
to accept ones self
for what you are

What you are
What you aint

However that never prevents
the imagination from soaring
and playing pretend games
in the attic of your soul

Can we get out from underneath
Pseudo celebrity hood?

Today I will pretend to be an authority
the audience will expose me
all shriveled and cold and embarrased
reverting to my world of reading and pondering

It took years
and tears
to even think about
accepting ones self
for what you are
that where you come from
is no different
from anybody else
