who am I???
who are you that thinks to know me
who are you that thinks to know my feelings
who are you that thinks to know my ambitions
you think to know what isnt you
you think to experience what never was
you think to feel what i feel
never could you know the horror i have seen
never could you know my joys and pains
never could you know the thoughts that haunt my mind
yet you claim to see what i am
yet you claim to see what i desire
yet you claim to know what i do not
how could you
it shouldnt be possible
you who have never seen the world through my eyes
experiencing my thoughts
you know
how can you
who are you that can
then it dawns. i am you

The ending kinda threw me off...
the second paragraph is expressed so well. Too true
thank you. i do try to express certain feelings as best i can. this one has a couple different elements and the ending does kinda seem a bit removed from the flow of the poem on the whole - but its kinda like a fight within oneself -even though written as if to an outsider; it just sounded and flowed better that way (and you can take it that way) but the thrust of the poem is that in the end I AM YOU
