“And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a real person.” Scott Speedman

Real.
What is it, really?
Is it a wink and a nod?
Is it wrapped in jargon?
Is even definable.

My students said that only numbers are real.
I don’t like math so I couldn’t agree with them,
But they might be right
I like to think I’m progressive,
I just confused on when people are real.

Perhaps it has to do with integrity.
Maybe honesty, sincerity, or some other thing
We can’t see.
Let me live within my ego’s means,
Let me stay true to my values,
Let others see me for who I am.
