Character Creating
You don’t know me You see a woman Maybe you’ve heard a rumor But you don’t know My story My truth You would rather Create a character For your own amusement I could tell you the truth But you prefer fiction There was a time When I was younger That I would have appeased you And gladly stepped into The role you had assigned to me But that girl is gone My acting days are behind me The only part I play now Is me In all of my truth In all of my glory The good, the bad The failures and the triumphs The mistakes and the gifts I have bestowed on so many. You don’t know me But if you did You would be shocked. How much more interesting I am Then the lady you chose to see And pretended to know. You don’t know me And you never will You are not worth my time You want comic book But I am true literature A character and a story For all the ages.
