I Am The Alternate You Poem by Daniel Hooks

I am the tears you never cried
The words you never used to lie
The words of truth you never told
Because you weren’t that bold
I am the dreams you never found
I am the sound of silence of words never said
I am the truth that never entered your heart
I am reality
I am fiction
I am all
I am nothing
I am the version of you never expressed
The alternate self you repressed
So much more could you be
But still you won’t ever see me!
