It’s hard to know the difference – and that’s the point.
What is real, what is fictional and what the difference might be – all are the passionate questions of those afraid of losing control.
I Am But A Fictional Character
Make no mistake,
I am not real, I am
but a fictional character,
and any resemblance
to actual persons,
living in real places,
doing true and
meaningful things,
whether living or dead,
is entirely coincidental;
for I am a work of
creative imagination
for whom words,
locales, events such as
expressions of affection,
comforting words,
apologies, and even
promises,
are the products
of literary prose
for the purpose of
entertainment
and resemblances
to real live
are to be construed
fictiously.
