Who I Am
"I'm an open book, go ahead and take a look,"
says the first couple of pages.
But in chapter three you'll see that ambiguity nourishes me.
Then the rest of the book is just personalities I threw in some cages.
Ready to be put on display whenever I need be interesting.
Simply because who I was flees me
and who I'm becoming doesn't interest me.
Go ahead and judge me! I don't care!
No, wait! Actually I really do.
In order to survive I need all the attention and approval from you and you.
It gets truer and true.
I may seem like a gentleman but on the inside I thrive from being,
well.... cooler than you.
You see the person I am internally,
contradicts the person that exists externally.
I'm like a misanthrope who loves parties,
and trust me that's no hyperbole.
A pitiful, miserable miser who would trade it all for fun in a second.
I'll save my whole life for something precious, then just decide to wreck it.
I know it sounds confusing like it's some sort of
symbiotic, cooperating bipolar disorder.
But this is just me. An anomaly. And honestly,
choosing a side or becoming someone else just terrifies me.
So I'll just continue to be.......
