*Watch Me Now*(un-edited)

I stroll into the same old scene
I see the carbon copy faces
And it is almost deja vu
They feel like memories
Maybe from a past life
And they start to greet me
But they are using my name
“Chris” they say
Then it comes to me
Now I remember
That’s who I was
I was Chris
Or more Chris was my carbon copy
So I tell them
I proclaim
Chris is long gone
He died
Like a snakes skin
I have shed him off
To reveal Cameron
…
Wait maybe I should explain how things use to be
We would wake up
And polish our silver masks
I would walk through the day, in darkness
Watching everyone stumble for the light
It was disgusting
They looked like a littler of puppies
All reaching for mother attention
Ripping, fighting, careless for the rest
And I just shook my head
Sad to say there have been times I have jumped in
Joined in on the fun
Just to be ripped away
By my best friends paw
And so I retreat to the darkness
But no longer
I have ripped off my mask
And now I no longer need there spotlight
I glow from the heart
I no longer walk into the darkness
And there I find people like how I use to be
And I reach out to them
Some open their eyes to me
Glassed over in tears of joy
And I pick them up
Teach them what I know
While others
Open their eyes to me
Fire, burning hate
And they push me away
But I stand up and walk on
For I know someday they will come out of the darkness
Or they will die there
Reaching for me when it’s to late
Such a pity
…
Like I was saying
I try to explain to them who I am
They just laugh at me
And call me crazy
Maybe I am insane
But I know I can trust Cameron
So I tell you runts
You thought Chris was fun and different
Well watch me now
For Chris was only a cocoon
And Cameron is the butterfly
Watch me now
As I don’t walk away from the scene
I fly
So grow some wings and join me
Or live and die in your shell
If you think that’s what life is
Tis a shame
