I am [undefined]

literal
metaphoric
intimate
vicarious
less than inventory
but more than a list

evocative
manipulative
ignorant
presumptive
more and/or less
than the sum of my parts

subject
predicate
idea
experience
the ultimate precursor
of eloquent consequence

evidence
ambivalence
history
fiction
creation and creator
of/for the dispossessed

parody
pantomime
public
discrete
the cast of your character
into the light

for the sake of brevity
anything you want me to be

Be yourself if you know what that is which most of us don't. But never the less we let at least some of ourselve slip out in the words we write.
