Do not be mistaken,

nor clouded by the idea

that you know this heart,

know this mind,

know this soul,

simply by reading the

pencil lines brought

to my paper's edge.

Antiquated at best,

this argument of professors

fulfills only an

inflated sense of self.

Please, pack up your

belongings, and

forget the page,

the pencil,

the person,

and all.
