I request to hear your free-form poetry even if it sucks (which I'm sure it won't! :D)! Might not see till mornings but I requesth!

Just remembered this. Okay, here it is!

Spoiler

People say: “I’ve heard so much about you.”
I think: Heard? Or inferred?
Did you hear? Or did you lessen the value of my company by virtue of your assumptions?
I can’t
control
your thoughts.
I can’t say what you should think I’m like. My hair, my personality. The way I look when I genuinely smile.
All I can do is hope. Hope that we’re right. Hope that you try not to judge
Or assume before you get a chance
To form a real opinion.
So: infer if you wish. Build a picture of me in your head and fantasize about me.
But it’s not my fault when your walls crumble and fall, shaken by the reality that is ME.

Because I am me. Not you. Not a picture in your head. MYSELF.

Nicely done! I like it, especially the way you did your line spacing. And the idea of it, what do we really know about someone before we meet them and what is the extent of our assumptions. Cool stuff!
