The Real


what i experience is real

reading is not

how do i know the truth

seeing is showing

 

what i know is real

pictures are only guides

people i don't know

i'll never know

 

what i tell is real

my own true stories

undocumented moments

for everyone to hear

 

what i remember is real

memories to last forever

experiencing history myself

over and over again
