I May Look Myself, B u t I' m Somebody Else

I see myself
from a distance.
T h  e r e  is c h o  i ce,
I never can pick.

They act,
I am not aligned.
W he n   w e  h a v  e  i t   d o n  e,
it is myself in the line.

Living like a sentinel,
watching every beam of light,
but the mirror is too fractured.
W e  pu t y o u   a si d e.

I own this mind and body.
yet they are shared,
by many.
     U r  r i g h t!

We are touched,
by flames and light.
Ripped by incongruity,
watching, living or being?

He got tired of surface,
Dove deep in the depth.
W e  'r e th e  g l i   t ch.

Freeing us,
for some would be a gift.
W e' r e s o  m e  k in d o f  er r @r.
