Alter Ego
your beginning to show,
I see your true colors finally begin to expose.
I watch as layers of disguises begin to unravel before my very eyes, you are everything I warned myself about.
You are the light at the end of the dark tunnel waiting with mocking words that pierce through me.
you are the beauty I envisioned you to be with hidden agendas I chose not to see.
You are my rise and fall of greatness the roller-coaster from hell,
You are the breath that held the very secrets I choose not to tell.
You are everyone who's ever hurt me and everything I've tried to stay away from.
You are everything and nothing that I looked for....
You are you after all.
The one who filled me with hope and watched me break and shatter into millions of heartless pieces.
The one that kicked me when I was at my lowest and told me everything I'm not.
You are you after all....
Careless and loving
Sane and logical
Irrational and illogical
Lost beyond gods grip
You are the truth to why I constantly shift.
You can't be silenced
You are you after all....
And I get to see the act every time you stare back from the mirror...
Your nameless.
