The Other Me

See the other me
The one I wish to be
The evil me, The wicked me
The Other side of me
The real me

Watch me lose myself
Become isolated, disconnected
Perhaps I just stopped resisting
I will become a self inflicted mess
Only instead I will be on the outside looking in

Here I stand, here in a place
Or am I not, I reside in a reality
That is not mine, but I hope it is
Do I not have a free will, am I not 
Living because I choose to be

I am made of flesh and bone
And all good things
I have a sweetness in my blood
That often makes my veins ache
You could call me by my name
But it would be to hard to pronounce

See the other me
The one you could love
The one you hate
The Other side of me
The one you see yourself in
