Doppelganger
Poem
The corners are quiet
The places I hide inside my mind
Where I can sleep
Find a little peace
Fill the spaces
With the me
That I keep away
Secret from everybody
For fear they couldn't understand
For shame
Of what's become
Of the me I used to be
Am I me?
Another I outside
The one
That's hidden
Deep within
An imposter
Impersonator
Liar
Thief
Or is it I that is the doppelganger?
Am I dreaming
Still curled up
In the recesses
Of my head
Unconscious lucidity
Living in mirrors
Hiding from the light
Keeping to my corners
Who is me?
The me I know
Or the other that I show
To the world
Outside my sanctuary
I'm still sleeping
I must be
The me I see
Is a nightmare
A terrible
Disgusting
Deceitful
Whore
Someone
Anyone
Please
Won't you wake me?
