Lala Merx Poet Pantoum

Doppelganger

To be more like me and be less like you
I shall take off the mask of disguise
Bury them to the depths of oblivion
Extinguish them to the point of no return

I shall take off the mask of disguise
I shall take off the cloak of invisibility 
Extinguish them to the point of no return
I’ll take my heart and identity back

I shall take off the cloak of invisibility 
I will stand tall, walk straight
I’ll take my heart and identity back
Along with my liberty

I will stand tall, walk straight
Do not stagger, do not fall
Along with my liberty
I shall dance with life

Do not stagger, do not fall
Although I’ll find dilemmas
I shall dance with life
and experience how to live

Although I’ll find dilemmas
Bury them to the depths of oblivion 
And experience how to live
To be more like me and be less like you
