I fear me
Because I do
Not know me
Who is me
When others
Are not around?
I can be others
The son, the worker
The old friend, the lover
These are roles
I can control well
But when you
Strip the actor
Of his roles
what is he?
There is just me
And that scares me
I have made myself an 'other', and now I'm left on the outside looking in. Observing and trying to understand the actions and habits of this strange creature that is me.
