I'm a rough draft poet
but revisionist historian,
I'm searching for a silver frame
that I can put my story in.
I never change my words
because they all reflect the now in me,
But memories I edit
until they become what they should be.
The truth is your perspective and the things
you thought you see in me
has been wildly tainted, painted
rose-colored and fancy-free.
So keep red pen in hand and check
that I have got the story straight-
I'm headed to the presses soon,
so hurry, it might be too late.
