the conflict

like watching your reflection in the mirror
knowing that it's not quite what others see
but what your mind has convinced itself of.
a flimsy character out of a short fiction.
you know you're not a liar
you know what this man is and what he has done
and you see yourself within him.
he is, after all, human.
much like you.
and you, like him, are very capable of the very evils
he possesses.
