Whom Do You Know
let me tell you my story or a little confession
something that make me low and feel down
at night when i stare at my eerie silhouette
and during the day in broad daylight
l have two shades on my dark shadow
one is plain the other looks peculiar and Curio
the one who's darker i guess that's me
the other a haunting maniac he might be
I wonder sometimes if the other is someone else
or is it possibly why I have these two names
And if so which one of the duo is probably me
More which one do people actually see
I have voices too that I hear in my head
from the look of it both are sad and bad
one sounds like me so does the other too.
Day and night I listen carefully as the duo argue
At times I stand and look into the mirror
And ardor the faces I see as I step nearer
The first is stern when the other is smiling
And the first is mean when the other is joking
l walk daily in dilemma of which one of me to present
which one to be docile and which to be prominent
which one should be ,which one am l
which one to live ,and which one to die
So whom do you know, if I should know
Or you have seen not only two but more
Tell me is it the sad man or the steady joker,
or the sympathetic man or the mean mocker
