Image borrowed from Yahootake your trashcan trophy
and leave me be
remove me from
the pedestal
on which I never belonged
it was your fantasy
of who I was not
rather than any
Tony winning
performance of mine
what you see
is what you got
with your eyes closed
dust off the gilding
turn to turpentine
peel skins away
reveal the charred interior
and revel in the discrepancy
of what you wanted
against the reality
of me
