A Pseudonym

It means that I can become who I want,

An identity created in a flicker of thought.

I could be the leader of the free world,

I could be the queen of england,

I could be the dictator of a continent,

I could be you. I could make you pay.

It means that I'm protected.

I sit high in my nest, atop the world:

I can cause you pain, so much pain,

But with my pseudonym, I am all -

I am the world and all its people -

And that means that you can never hurt me,

Not ever again.
