Assumptions
If I die with the masses,
people won’t know what to feel.
They’ll see my name on the list
and think “poor girl.”
Knowing my background
is no issue. It doesn’t matter if
I was the worst person
known to mankind.
If you never knew me, you’d
assume I was just an innocent
girl, simply tending to
her duties at the office or
at home. Maybe you’d assume
I was a CEO of some company
you’d never heard of.
To you, I look professional.
Maybe you’d assume I was a
mother of four, beginning straight
out of high school.
All of these assumptions can
only happen after death. If you were
to see me on the street today, you’d
think I’m a stupid high school student.
But you’d be wrong.
