COPYCAT



Two into one doesn’t go.
But there is one thing I really know.
That in this case it isn’t so.
COPYCAT.

Look in the mirror and you will see
That it is I who is following me.
My movements and personality.
COPYCAT.

My twin.My duplicate and split identity.
We are one in humanity.
Draw me away from this insanity
And I’ll no longer be a COPYCAT.

About this poem
