Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allan Poe

If only you knew the truth,
You’d understand the things I do.
If only you knew me,
You’d be able to see,
See me for who I am.
Not the things I’ve done.

 

Are you so small minded?
That you aren’t capable of looking further?
Further past yourself?
To you I say,
Your thoughts and opinions mean nothing.
They come from someone lesser than I,
I am able to see past myself.
Take into consideration,
Someone else’s view.

 

But you?
You are small minded.
You are a one way mirror,
And are trapped in your own world.
You use words as a weapon.
And I simply beat you at your own game.
My final words to you,
Checkmate darling.
