Remember Me in Words
By TT
Paint my portrait in a thousand words,
In every color of my poetry.
Discard every tale you’ve ever heard
Of the perspectives that misrepresent me.
Capture my smiles and frowns
In angled letters of passion…
Full of bold print and pain𑁋
Italics embellishing eternal change.
Paint me opaque.
Remember me in a million ways…
As a nomadic soul
Constantly shifting in a human frame.
