Never in a million years
Ever imagined being here.
A stranger in a known world.
The only catch is familiarity.
People think they know you.
Believe what you say.
See what you do.
Judging you for what you are.
Everything scrutinized,
Always leading to the same thing.
Simply put an ordinary person
With flawed perception and action.
Thats what you want them to see.
Drawn conclusions and notions.
Based on actions you do,
Brash,Talkative, Boastful,Arrogant.
Sarcastic,Sycophant,Smartass.
The whole thing a ruse,
A game of unwanted flashiness.
To cloud what they know.
The cover over reality,
Once lifted reveals
Someone unsettled, unwanted.
Unwarranted, misunderstood.
Putting walls of guise,
Filtering someone who
Resembles the stereotype in ways.
Alienated from everyone they stand,
Yearning for just one to find.
Who they are supposed to be?
Till then the charade goes on.
Lasting till the end.
Simply put no one knows.
Who someone really is.
