Hear Say Ear Slay

Don’t judge me when you’re not near me, 
I’m not someone you hear or see, 
painting blind my portrait blurry, 
projecting out lost and fury. 

Did you tell others this is me,
this made up personality,
do they believe and think it be,
though it not reality.

It’s what’s been said, 
and what all think,
don’t trace the thread 
don’t doubt the link.

So is this my image, the way I’m seen,
this person that I’ve never been?
This reputation so easily hated,
am I a character someone created?

I don’t care cus you’re not near me,
you’re not someone I hear or see,
I won’t damage your name unfairly,
by letting fantasy carry me free.

In time they’ll see it truthfully 
things you said a mystery,
question marks of my story
sparks of curiosity 
look at you for logic and find they can’t see,
look at me properly and find the proper me.

He who talks the talk of reality,
talks of events an actuality, 
Gossip talk near close to insanity,
fills an empty existence, a sad act to be. 
 
Don’t judge me when you’re not near me,
in time a truth will be set free,
no one speaks, they see it clearly, 
a very visual insanity.
