*Stop trying to pass yourself off as something you aren’t.
Quit the acting and the expressions and the distant looks and low voices.
Quit trying to make people think you are something dark and majestic.
You are an unsightly bug.
You may have everyone else fooled,
But you CANNOT fool me.
I know you inside and out.
I’ve had to listen to the shit you spew every God damn day.
You try to make them think you are me.
You act like me.
SO BE ME.
Just tell them all what you really feel.
Even if you think you feel something else.
You can’t lie to yourself.
Or to me.
I’m gonna rip your fucking wings off, little fly.
Don’t be you and act like me.
BE ME.
Because that’s who you are.
Sincerely,
Dann Klock*
