Identity

It's not just me.
It's us.

It's not my body.
It's ours.

You're addressing me as you.
When it's really you all.

I'm not doing this.
He is.
She is.
They are.
We are.

Identity
Noun
The fact of being who or what a person is

A person?
What if it's six people in one person?
Is that still a person?
My identity isn't singular.
I'm not just Lysette.
As much as I want to be, that's not how life goes.
That's not how life went.
But I suppose...
I suppose qu'est-ce qui sera sera.
I can't change the course of life.
But if I could . . .

- Lysette
