I Become Myself

There is a girl sitting in my chair
She is wearing blue suede shoes
and her hands are neatly folded in her Indian-style lap.
She is looking at me
Expectantly
As if I could hand her the world at her request.

There is a girl sitting in my chair
Wearing pants with a button missing
And her shoes aren't tied anyway.
She never could be bothered with that.
Her eyes are
Starving for love
But for once she stays silent and does not request it.

There is a girl sitting in my chair
She fidgets with a ring on her right index finger
and tries to cover up her indecision.
When she laughs
her nose crinkles up
and her eyes turn to half-moons as if she were an Anime character.
She sometimes feels like she's not real so she finds it fitting.

There is a girl sitting in my chair
She brushes the hair out of her face
and wears a perplexed expression
Whenever she hears the word "regret"
or "patience."
She doesn't believe in either one.
She never has.
For she is living in the RIGHT NOW.

And she is sitting in my chair.
