The Other Me

See the other me The one I wish to be The evil me, The wicked me The Other side of me The real me Watch me lose myself Become isolated, disconnected Perhaps I just stopped resisting I will become a self inflicted mess Only instead I will be on the outside looking in Here I stand, here in a place Or am I not, I reside in a reality That is not mine, but I hope it is Do I not have a free will, am I not Living because I choose to be I am made of flesh and bone And all good things I have a sweetness in my blood That often makes my veins ache You could call me by my name But it would be to hard to pronounce See the other me The one you could love The one you hate The Other side of me The one you see yourself in
