Me
If they knew me, they would know so much
If they knew me, they would know so much
Things even I don’t quite know
Who could say what they would know about me if even I cannot tell what would be said
Honestly, everyone saying what they know about me are more correct than I ever will be
No one can say that the me which exists in others’ minds
Is any less than the me in my own
Perhaps the me that is an internet comment is the real me
Maybe the me from three years ago was the real me
And now, I am someone completely different
But also, the me in my mind might be me
But how could that be?
For the me in my mind is built up of lies
I am the smartest
I am the best
Things I tell myself to be true
And it’s broken down by them too
I am worthless
I am an annoyance
For all things come to an end
Is there a difference between my lies and yours?
Is it my details, the amount?
The experiences I claim I know
But those are just another show?
Or could it be that I believe the me that I know is the real me
Because I said it is, and that’s all this me says matters
I do not know which of these is me
But I do know what this version of me knows
That no “me” exists
This is a quite insightful poem, and I love how it provides an interesting case study into the idea of personality and identity as we know it.
