Who Am I?


Words can’t express The beast within 80/20 that’s the rule What’s the rule? Do you follow or ignore? 80/20? is unheard of I think I’m 100 But No! That’s untrue Untrue what they say But then what is true? Is the sky really blue? Is the grass really green? Uncertainty of who I am creeps around me It surrounds me with a cloud of doubt Doubt. Doubt that what I see is real It’s hazy and I can’t see See through my false persona to find the real me So am I 80% real and 20% fake? Or am I 80% fake and 20% real? Or more like 80% me and 20% someone else and vice versa Who am I? Is my skin really brown? Is my hair really red? No one knows Not even me No one sees this beast of uncertainty Taking over me So what is the real rule? Who am I? It remains unknown
