instead I

deep within my pen
resides the ghost of who I am,
who I am really,

the who that wishes
to come out, but, lacking in
courage sufficient

for such bold act, takes
instead its other choice, a
stance safely ... within

---

instead II

I think you think my
bustling pen scribes for you; it
writes instead ... for me
