"The other side of you. Who?" By Ben Goode 2018 (c)

Si vous me connaissiez aussi bien que moi. Peut-ĂȘtre pourriez-vous mĂȘme vous interroger sur votre santĂ© mentale
(If you knew me as well as I do. Perhaps you would even question your own sanity.)

"I know there's part of me.Dark, foreboding, beyond the mirror."
"You see an image, you hide your...thoughts!"
"I wish I didn't have to!"
"Because you can't be yourself?"
"Nobody can!"
"I know what you want to do"
"You know?"
"You know, so I do!"
"What do I want?"
"What do you need?"
"I can't have it."
"It or them?"
"Both."
"Ha!"
"Your image won't change, so stop staring. Nobody will ever know who you really are!"
"I don't even know myself, who am I really? A Lie?
"You are all you want people to see. An actor!"
"What if I just dropped the act suddenly?"
"What if they um liked the act better?"
"But it's not real is it? I'm not..."
"So what's real then huh?"
"My actual thoughts?"
"And actions!"
"Yes and?"
"Sanity!"
"Yup!"
"Ah!"
