Persona Grata

You can trust
the You that is
You.

I’m not talking
about the
Persona
you’ve been
assembling
from other
people’s
blueprints,

beginning with
your parents,
who may not
have known
you arrived
from Eternity,
already
perfect,
where you’ll
return
when that
Persona
has served
you
and is ready
to be laid
down with
love and great
affection.

So, beware
trusting the
blueprints –
they’re endless –
and don’t fret
too much about
construction
flaws.

It turns out
you’re in the
Cast of Characters
in a dramedy,
part farce,
part tragedy,
all masterpiece,

and the flaws
just keep the
audience guessing
about what
will happen
next.

So, keep it
Real.

Trust
the You that is
You.
