Poem about Me.....


Who can say they know me?
Then again who can say they know anyone....Unless that anyone is no one.

The answer is not even me.

Theoretically, I am in control over my own actions, but in Reality, I am not.
I am controlled by my surroundings, my environment, my acquaintances,
Manipulated by society, in the opposite direction.

Pushing when the world wants me to pull.
Singing when the world wants me to sew my lips.

From the kid who no one knew, or even really liked,
To the one everyone seeks attention from.

[Redacted]

A perfectionist a heart, but hides that will to seem normal.
Hides a lot of things to seem normal.

Now don’t look at me like I’m some sort of freak, because the truth is
I Am You.
and You Are Me.
And We are all each other.

So the truth is, you know me better than I know myself.
Why?
I am you. You molded me. Told me what you want me to be; and I listened.

For I am an individual composed of many.

And You are Me. Because you told me what you wanted me to be: and I listened.

Therefore I am myself. And I am all.

Who knows who I am?

The answer is me.
The answer is you.
