Accidentally Me

A little self-examination...


I wear a face
intricately spaced features
tell-tale characteristics carved subtly and surreptitiously
creating an illusion
malleable and friable

I try to wear this me
I puff up my chest and suck in my pretense to slip into something less comfortable
these skins itch
they provide a dermal repast for voratious shallow-feeders

I speak this tongue
I articulate on cue
I force-feed my vocabulary and vomit soliloquy in metered precision
I remand myself to the torture wheel and submerse myself in the reek of prose

I absorb this culture
I abhor unified theory and regulated spatial nuances
I am disenfranchised by my own non-adaptation and enamored by the paucity of my followers

I am these things I loathe and marvel at
I am completely false
I am a stranger to my own senses
I am a charlatan
I am everything else and
accidentally me

Well done, Brian. You've captured that discomfort we all face as we try to fit in... when who we are is too far from who we feel we must be. These skins itch...

But one has to be themselves whether by accident or design.
