Within and Without


My viewers are facing

What they know they see,

They say they see,

They think they see.

 

But it's just the casing

I know they see,

I would say they see.

think they see

 

The person I'm chasing.

Do they really see

Who I want to be?

Or who I used to be?

 

Are my viewers facing

My inner scene,

My outer scene,

Or all of me?

 

Are my viewers facing

The bruisable,

The healable,

Or the compatable?

 

Is my audience viewing

A passion-spree,

A breaking-spree,

Or their war in me?

 

Who am I being?

That others face,

That I incase,

Whom both parties chase?
