I am



Who are you?
Are you who you say?
Do you change by the day,
go to sleep wake up and find a new way?

Do you remain the same?
Still got that one habit which brought you shame.
No dreams? Just a must that you lust for fortune and fame..
Got a gorilla in the mist that needs to be tamed..
Fighting yourself daily now your body is drained..

Who are you?
Better yet, what are you?
You claim to be this person who's proven to be less..
Mind body and soul just a slave to the flesh..
This person you claim to be, is just a mirage, a mask, a facade..
You're me and I'm you the all seeing God..

I am that.. I am..
