Who Am I?


Who am I?

Why I am you,

My only tie,

Is through you too.

 

I'm your mind,

Your way of life,

With the thoughts I give you, you'll unwind.

 

I keep you here,

Distract from the truth,

While you watch in fear,

As you see your dying youth.

 

Who am I?

Why I am you,

You just don't see,

That none of it's true.
