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
