As I am

For you…
To remember me by
When I am not here for you to see
Because I know one day
I’ll be gone
And my notebooks will be around
To define me
And exploit my thoughts
The real me
Although you, who are looking in
Will only see what you imagine
Because sometimes I am serious
I have thoughts that kill
Yet often enough
I make shit up
Just for the thrill..

A new beginning
Different stories
And alternate endings
The same soul leaving behind
Parts of its whole
To view me as I am
And in the future who I was
And presently who I am to be
I am still writing down
The stories of my life
The sunshine that is striking
