I am a person // Not just a character
In your world to add
To collect as if glass figurines
When we were children
Deprived of actual childhood left
To only play make believe in
Some low-key fantasy
About princesses trapped in in towers
And you were the knight in
Shining armor and sword in hand
That vanquishes evil
I am neither the princess nor a prince
Nor a villager to applaud your achievements
I am a person // Not a mouth that just
Tells you everything's alright
Not a hand that pats your back when
Things go sour
And not in your favor
Because I am a person // I am not a stock
character
To play in the movie of your life
I am not a manic pixie dream girl
That'll save you from your sadness
I don't change my hair every two weeks
Nor am I named after a season
I am not a Mary Sue
That's perfect in every aspect
That'll save you if you are stuck
And downtrodden and in quick sand sinking
I'm sinking as well
I am me //  a person
Not quite as two dimension as you think
I am not static nor a flat character
i could act in more ways than in a line
I could deviate
There is no patter I couldn't break
I could be sad, mad , angry , bad or good
And everything in between
I am a person // the way I want to be
And not what you want to see
Or imagined in your head
So please open your eyes
Because for once I want to be
A main character
A protagonist
And not just someone that dies
Without any fanfare
I want you to see
That I am alive // a person
