“There is a fake version of me
And he's the one that writes
These poems.
He has an attitude and swagger
That I don't have.
But on this page, this fake me
Is the me that speaks.
And this fake me is louder
Than the real me, and he
Is the one that everyone knows.
He's become the real me
Because everyone treats me
Like I'm the fake me.”
