Being You
he hated people.
they came at him from all sides.
beseiged his being with the consciousness
of one who has to belong.
he was taller than them.
he would always be.
he could read their minds too
and they thought they could read his!
he was already where fools fear to tread.
since there are no angels ...
Being Me
blood running thick by the side of a still green pond
mud flecked dull green rushes
knocking together, confused
he was glad he couldn't see them anymore
those devilish smiles which always looked the same
chiselled out of a need to be
who they had to be
all they knew to be
just like you and me
so like you and me
its who you wanted to be
and was it you I wanted to be
and you me?

Interesting weave of personalities and perspectives going their own way.
Uncanny, Inks. It's damn hard to separate the two beings, and take the responsibility for your own stuff. What's his, what's mine? Yikes!!!
prerona: glad u do...:)
doc: yes -their own way- if only they knew what that was.
mermaid: yikes sort of sums it up!
cryptic.
hmm...u kept me thinking for a while
Its interesting the way u have spun two personalities together...guess its ultimately all about finding your identity..what each individual really is?!
You have a wandering mind, but not wandering enough t take of you off topic. You've awakened the dark side of you, a thing I haven't managed to do yet... as I'm always happy. The only time my dark side appears is when i write... but even so...
cj: its how I like it
sophie: a -ha!
anand: thats an interesting perspective..its who you WANT to be that's tricky
emily west: welcome and keep the dark side at bay as long as you can :)
Aren't we all .. kept alive by the bits and pieces of others ..
hmmm...thought provoking one...nice work
aria: wow. now you should write about THAT
dreamy eyed gal: thanks :)
Hmm. Duality? Conflict? :)
Oh this was nice..but leaves me wondering what it really is 'being you'...now thats the real mystery...
jon cox : thank you
blue athena: ALWAYS
aradhita: wish I knew. lol
