Analysis of Be Someone Else

Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)



I've been wondering if my journey was for real.

The way to be someone else feels.

I chose to be in their shoes.

Formerly I had to lose myself and choose.

It's a way to enact roles for motivation.

They excite me for the inspiration

I like the way it is to be with creativity

I feel it's up to me to pretend

In my defense, my old wounds will heal

I am telling how it feels
