versus

each person
looks at a blank page.
i scribble notes on the sheet.
each person
looks at a page.
the words differ from points of view.
i change the story
add details
omit truths
present sides of myself.
it's become an art
a con.
i sent doubles into the world
they keep me secure shielded
eyes ears everywhere
presenting themselves as me.
i wait for her
to see through the ghosts
assassinate them until i remain
but i know this is unfair
so i set out into the night
hunt versions of myself
erase them from the world
so when she sees me
she see me.
