do you know what I am talking about?
of course you know, everyone does.
you only close your eyes and blind yourself
to see the truth, the obvious YOU.

don't you agree? of course you do,
just as everybody does,
you only say you don't, so you won't see
the inner self, the obvious YOU.

you hate me for saying it, don't you?
of course you do, just like everybody does.
and yet, I'm saying it out loud:
you can't escape the obvious YOU.

I should keep my thoughts to myself, shouldn't I?
maybe you're right, maybe I really should
and let it be, surrounded by the shadows,
FOREVER rot, the obvious WE.
