Me

Do you see the darkness in me?

Do you see the light?

Can you tell I can’t control it

Though I try with all my might?

Do you see my shadow?

That follows my every move?

Can’t you see how I try to fight?

As if I have something to prove?

Do you see the phases of me?

The moon, full and bright?

To the one who disappears 

From every sky in sight.

I am night.

I am day.

Though how I am both

I cannot say.

I am black.

I am white.

I am wrong

And I am right.

I do not understand

The contradictions that are me.

I make no sense.

I should not be.

But you shouldn’t worry.

To waste time on me would be a shame.

I’m not that important-

You need not even know my name.
