I Know Who I Am

I know who I am.
I’ve got a problem, I’m not ordinary.
I see things that are transparent.
And I never clap with the rest.
I know there are ghosts everywhere.
Some are real and some man-made.
If it’s funny I will laugh, if it’s not
I won’t pretend. I’m not here to make
Up the numbers, I’m not a statistic.
I know nothing bad will happen and
I’m not naive enough to be a sensation.
I think I’ve done something, that’s more 
than the average Joe. I don’t sleep-walk. 
I’m conscious every waking moment.
I can smell a lie. I’m special, perceptive.
A knowledgeable idiot, alive. Are you?
