Somebody Else by Jackie Kay

Taken from Being Alive published by Bloodaxe Books

If I was not myself, I would be somebody else.
But actually I am somebody else.
I have been somebody else all my life.

It's no laughing matter going about the place
All the time being somebody else:
People mistake you; you mistake yourself.
