This is a poem about a young man who quickly discovers his split personality is in control
Outsmarted


How does it feel to be outsmarted
You can't comprehend what it is I've started
You think I'm making you mad, driving you insane
Okay, whose mind has locked up anger it can no longer contain
Stop pretending...you can't beat me
No matter how much you try, you can't defeat me
Don't you get it...we're one and the same
You want to hide from the things you feel, fine, but I'm sick of playing games
It's time to unleash the beast within you
Let go of the pain you've locked within you
Don't let these people tell you what to do
Wake up and start living for you
Where were they when you were in the dumps, barely alive
Those same people you prayed would give you the strength to survive
Where were they all the times you cried
And now you think you can stop me by ending your life

Maybe they don't realize what they're doing but they'll come around
Now will you please just calm down

Calm down? Every single one of them has it coming so turn me loose
What are you going to do? Exactly what is it that you have to prove
That nobody messes with me
Why is that so complicated for you to see
Get out of my head...I'm sick of you
You can't get rid of me...what part of that isn't sinking through

I'm the real you
The one who knows what you really want to do
So stop wasting time and let me out
Take on the world...scream and shout
You think they'll ever show you love when all they know is doubt
It's time to show them what the real you is all about
I won't let you do this so knock it off
Try to stop me for I only get stronger when you tick me off
I'm tired of you being pushed around
I can feel it to when you get beat to the ground
Stop fighting the anger for I can feel your heart begin to pound
You'll eventually come around
Soon the only sound you hear
Will be my voice screaming in your ear
You can't stop it...it's already started
So tell me again, how does it feel to be outsmarted
