I
Over time
I have come to the conclusion that in every person
There exist endless versions of the same human being
Sometimes these versions coexist
And take turns to float to the surface
Other times one version has to die for the other to be born
A phoenix rising from the ashes or a murderer rising in cold blood
I can never tell which is which
I touch friends that I have known for years
And my hand is smeared with the paint of strangeness
I cannot pinpoint the difference
Maybe it's the hue
The intensity
The vibrancy
Maybe it is the age
But I cannot tell
I have never been much of an artist
I have come to the conclusion that in every person
There exist endless versions of the same human being
Sometimes these versions coexist
And take turns to float to the surface
Other times one version has to die for the other to be born
A phoenix rising from the ashes or a murderer rising in cold blood
I can never tell which is which
I touch friends that I have known for years
And my hand is smeared with the paint of strangeness
I cannot pinpoint the difference
Maybe it's the hue
The intensity
The vibrancy
Maybe it is the age
But I cannot tell
I have never been much of an artist
