Who is "I"?


"I" is edgy, "I" is hot.

"I" is exciting, "I" is loud.

"I" is daring, "I" is spontaneous.

I am not "I". I am a completely different me.

I am easily entertained. I am self-conscious.

I am quiet. I am nervous.

I take pictures of "I", but the camera is pointed at me.

I just want to hurry up and take this picture

So that "I" can go away and I can be me as I am.

I am afraid of "I", but "I" is not dangerous.

I am just afraid that people like "I" and not me.

"I" lives in me, and I live as "I"

But we are not the same.

I could never be "I", because I am me

But I sure can look like him when he wants me to.
