Alter Ego
Rent-free in your mind
I’ve been conceived from the primordial soup of your desires and shortcomings
Yet, I manifest with your mannerisms
Your likes and dislikes
I am you
But not quite
My hair’s glossier, manageable, stylable, cooperative
An unnatural shade of indigo
Born with gray eyes instead of brown
Keep the olive skin, you like that about yourself
Fuck it, keep the lips too
You can’t decide whether to keep your height or finally reach the five-foot mark
Some days I’m 4’11, other days–5’7
I can strut, sprint, and fight in six-inch heels
I’m a model as much of a hero vigilante
I can do it all
We’re both polyglots, but I’m fluent in all the languages you know and more
I excel at most things, but keep it humble, no one likes an overpowered character
Sometimes I have superpowers, sometimes my mere existence is the only power I need
Professional singer, professional dancer
Instead of sitting behind a screen, typing away
I wait behind the stage, ready to perform for my millions of fans
My voice resonates through their souls
Every heart captured
No need for a closet when I can change whenever I want
I have every single thing you could ever want
You love me
You hate me
You _are_ me
I’m simply just the impossible you
