authenticity
is doomed
when no one’s interested
to know
the real you
confined by image
typecast by media
he struggles to express
his truest self
But…
they believe
what fits in
their stories
stitched, decorated
carefully presented
to tell
what’s their type
what’s not

This, like so much of your poetry, Reena, is the hard truth.
Much love,
David

Reena, I like the way you tease the concept apart and in only 44 words! You’re right, too many people don’t care to know who you really are 😦

The truest self is often hidden (the most secret of the three selves we each must be) I hate being typecast.
