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
