telling people that you're a writer.
that you
write short
fiction and poetry
and publish it daily
on a so called
blog.
once you tell them
about your obsessive writing,
they want to read it
and judge you.
suddenly,
you're not the person they
thought you were.
you're different
than how you appear in
person,
or over the phone.
suddenly the cardboard cutout
of you,
that they've formed
in their heads,
is gone.
