You Colour Me

You colour me
through the lens of your perception
forming opinion of me
with the sum of your experience

But do you know
that the me you see is not
the me I am

You colour me
through sight modified
by your existence
Using eyes that once saw
hair like mine on another

But do you know
that the me you see is not
the me you knew

You colour me
though eyes filtered
by your reality
Assigning attributes to me
by default of remembrance

But do you know
that the me you see is not
the me I know

You colour me
through the spectacles
of your awareness
using eyes clouded
by cataracts of past encounters

But do you know
that the me you see is not
the me you think I am
