Monologue of a Collage Maker All that I am laid out on a single sheet of paper All projected in these everyday images Each have my personal meaning And I hope just that others see in these images What they have come to mean to me All that I am, conveyed by so little My ambitions, My hope, My joys, My dreams All laid out on this sheet of paper The meaning is so clear to me Everything having its own place and meaning All making up the parts that make me who I am But will others see the same Or will they see this phantasmagoric gathering of objects Or maybe take another meaning of the parts and the whole Seeing me as someone that I am not This is a fear I hold closely to my heart For isn't the true purpose of self-expression To let others see you for who you are But, my hope in the others will see themselves in the images I may have my fears for making it But I will never regret creating it
