Perception

Not who you perceive me to be

I am me...
It's funny how society and social media, even so called acquaintances,
to whom we respect and come to Love.....decide who they feel one should be shame on you

"Perception"
I don't have to be she
I don't have to be that unattainable death wish

"Perception"

Ha, Ha, Ha  you pressed upon me
The incomparable or is it the unobtainable dream or vision, delusion, false identity of the woman who doesn't exist
only in the eyes of the beholder...

Shame on you, shame on you

I would agree that a preconceived notion can be a breeding ground for angst if you let it. A very creative poetic write.
