ILLUSIVE

Should I play the victor or the victim
Or portray myself  as the  wolf or the lamb?
Can you decide which part I should play ?

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Set are two faces ,the Jekyll and the Hyde .
Which do I set free in this paradoxical gaze?

Should I worry about what people think?
And show a side that you do not know
Based on a tangled web of truths and lies.

Shall I be the darkness that craves the light?
Or a riled beast prepared to fight?
Caught in a balance of wrong and right.

So you decide,  you might  be right.
Am I the Chameleon who glows at night
Or merely an angel hiding in plain sight?
