Am I me?

[nefieslab]

Am I me?

Who do you think I am…?

Who do you think addresses you…?

Is it Andrew?

WRONG!


I am ME!


Nothing remains of he who was before,


He is no more.


I am the immortal,


I am the control,


The control you feel,


And it makes you kneel,


BEFORE ME!

ME!


I am,


Everything you can never be,


The thing you wish not to see,


Looking back at you in the mirror.

I see it every time I look in that glass,

All I see is the mask,

Not the man who is left to bask,

In the solitary sight,

That is the symbol of might,

I have become.

I build up,

Right up,

The anger that brews inside,

Like the rising tide,

And threatens to splash over,

The dam of the mask.

The mask contains,

It restrains,

What I have done,

What I have become,

And it will be with me for all time,

It will be ME for all eternity!

Basking in the mask I come to see,

What has become of me.

Within these holes that stand for eyes,

And with no surprise,

I see ME,

The one I despise,

I see ME,

And it terrifies,

Those who stand too close to me,

those who do not see,

the tide of anger underneath.

I can’t say what I am,

Am I me?

Or am I ME?

Until the day that I decide,

Forever will I hide,

Behind the barrier of white metal,

The perfect cage for a beast like ME.

Well, if you're not you, then who are you? You must be you, else, you're not anything at all, are you? Are you sure that you're you? You're not me! But then, am I me? If I'm me, and you're you. Maybe you're fooling yourself by thinking you're you? What if you're really me, and I'm really you. And I'm not kneeling, so I guess I'm not me, and you're not me either.

Well, you look like you to me!
