A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Attempting introspection without being rude,
I ask myself, "what's going on with this dude?",
but is understanding really likely
with a house of mirrors psyche?
Subtle markers, clarity will betray -
or do they point the other way?
And which way is better and which way worse?
Or is it just the opposite, or the reverse?
And am I a wolf in the clothing of sheep?
Does my true nature appear in dreams when I sleep?
And when I'm awake before I retire,
am I a sheep in a wolf's attire?
