We are characters
in search of an author
to tell the story
of who we are not.
Not yet…
before we reveal ourselves
as a finished work.
And in thick pages,
their ink long dry,
that we dare revisit,
as errors in the writing.
Still,
we recognize ourselves
without ever becoming
the heroes of this story.

We are characters
in search of an author
to tell the story
of who we are not.
Not yet…
before we reveal ourselves
as a finished work.
And in thick pages,
their ink long dry,
that we dare revisit,
as errors in the writing.
Still,
we recognize ourselves
without ever becoming
the heroes of this story.
