Multiple Identity
By day I’m a surgeon, I save every man,
I probe and I prod and I slice,
With my hand that is steady, even and sure,
Cutting a perfect precise.
By day I am safe, protecting the ill,
Between life and death I will stand,
But when the sun leaves, and darkness arrives,
Another me holds onto my hand
And makes me a punk, a hood and a thug,
I can yell and I scowl at the law,
I pin up my hair, spray painting all walls,
By night I’m a broken jigsaw.
By day I’m the stable reliable safe,
Then by night I’m just not the same,
But this is the me, it is who I am,
Playing the multiple identity game.
