In Your Head
Today you read
This character you have made of me
inside your mind
a Visual of what I may look like
My intentions you have peppered with doubt
But I am more
and less
I am the person drinking my breakfast tea at dawn
and humming melancholy to the still of the night
still, it is this character that you read
bits and pieces of me that I mask
and who were you angered by?
when you've never seen my eyes?
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow
There will be no more words here to see
Just a memory of a character you made up in your head
of someone who cared for you
Peppered with doubt
as I steep my tea
yet I am more and less than what I had become
