I'm ...

(whispers) I know who you are...

~What? I am just me ... right?

(whispers) Here I'll show you are.

~What are you doing to me? Why am I doing this? This all seems to be a dream?

(whispers) No! This is you I know I have seen this before.

~It can't be I won't let this keep going on.

(whispers) It is too late others have already seen the real you.

~That means I have to keep up to their expectations then...

(whispers) Right! It is too late they already know the real you what if you change

and lose them?

~You lied!! They are still leaving me but now they are taking parts of me with them.

(whispers) How will you get them back this is all you know?

~I will make a new me! Someone that they can like all of. I will reject you.

(whispers) You can't do that I am part of you I must be dealt with.

~Watch me!

(whispers) I'm still here, will you...

~No! I won't. But I still don't get this even though now I am surrounded by

friends without you why do I still feel alone?

(whispers) That is because you still need me and others that have me.

~Well, maybe I could try to find others and talk to them.

(whispers) You should just talk to me.

~No! I need to know if there are really others.

(whispers) I see you have grown tolerance against me. That will not solve

your problems.

~I have but not only that I know more about you so I have gained a relationship with

you.

(whispers) Oh really.

~Yeah and this person said that I shouldn't even be scared of you but learn

to accept you in my own way.

(whispers) Tell me how are you of all people going to find a way to get along

with me and still be a good person?

~Well, just because you make me different doesn't make getting along with you bad.

It only shows my strength and how well I know myself. I just have to figure out how

to fully get to know you.

(whispers) Well, you could have just asked.

~I knew that but I wasn't strong enough at first. But now I have the right

knowledge to do so. And I have a pretty good idea of what you are.

(whispers) If that is the case then what are we know that we are one?

~You are... No, I am (your sexuality, Race, Gender).

(whispers) No that is what I am what you used to be. What are we?

(whisper and You) We are our own unique self. The person that we make

ourselves out to be an unintentionally stick to. We are human.
