In an
Unspoken tense.

Something you can pick up

We are defined by the things we do.

It is physically impossible, a contradiction of
Terms, for us to be anything
But who we are.
There’s no pretending.
We are simple, basic
We can be conjugated
Untangled
Found.
So don’t call me a
Wannabe; I’m not faking
Don’t tell me to stop trying
To be somebody else.
It’s impossible.

Hoping, tasting,
Trying. We are coasting.
I am crying, chasing, fighting
You are, raining, running, waiting.
I am tossing; turning,
You are trying
We are dancing.
