Speaking Hypothetically

 

Suppose,

for just a moment

that a woman with very little self-knowledge

and a great deal of imagination

decided that in order to be

SOMEONE

she'd have to take a major leap

and turn into someone NEW.

And, just suppose, for the sake of supposition

that the woman

who never really knew exactly WHO she had been

found comfort in who she

COULD BE

and became that one she'd only just discovered

Wouldn't it mean then,

that she IS different than she WAS

and she can't go back to

then again

And, suppose, that when the woman changed the DOING

she also changed the BEING

doesn't that mean that she was who she said

for as long as she

felt and thought and loved like the

her she had discovered

Hypothetically, I mean, doesn't that mean that she IS

who she BECAME

or at least she's MORE than that...

all that she was (though she thought it was nothing)

and all that she became (though THEY thought it was nothing)

were simply pieces of the puzzle that could be all she CAN BE...

Hypothetically.
