Anonymity

I want to become a girl with a different name. 

With social media, it can't really be that difficult.

I can create a tumblr account with a false persona, and voila. 

I can spend a few months filling it with things. 

And then it is only to type in a select few names and click "Follow". 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I were someone else

someone you'd never seen

but felt

what would I be?

Would you be intrigued

would your heart warm

when you saw how much we're alike?

Without the visual inhibitors

of "real life"

what would you see?

Would you like it?

I don't know

if I would

or not

I'd hope you would

but of course

all you see

or rather, don't see

is what's "real"

The irony is

it's not real at all

But you'll never get

close enough

to know
