What I've Been

I've told a hundred lies
        to a hundred different faces.
I've lived a hundred lives
        in a hundred different places.
I've told a hundred stories
        in a hundred different ways.
I've been a hundred people
        in a hundred different plays.
There's a hundred different things
        that I would like to be,
and a hundred different ways
        to show that I am me.

Emily Gerke
