Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde trying to understand each other! |
Mr. Jekyll Perception is reality… The reality of my perception is that I have always been the same person, whom simply acts differently depending on the occasion. Occasions… Different people, different surroundings … Different realities perceived! But does that make me a monster? Can it be described as anything more then a conscience? Are you never pulled in 2 directions by a lingering choice? That’s all it feels to me, a choice… a simple answer to a challenging question, that’s all it takes to see my ugly side. But does that make me a monster? Can it be seen as an angel and a demon perched upon my shoulders? Have you never done anything “out of character” just to try? That’s all I wanted, to shake things up… an escape to a mundane life, a brief glimpse into the life of another. But does that make me a monster? Can it not been perceived as a rekindling of life’s inner flame? Have you ever listened to a recording of yourself, without recognizing the voice? A recording… a retelling of times past… even though it sounds familiar, it never seems to sound quite right. That’s all that ever happened to me. But does that make me a monster? Isn’t that just a bad game of whisper down the lain? Haven’t you ever gotten lost looking at yourself in a mirror? You have always perceived my reality as two… two people’s minds, interlocked as one. A lover and a scoundrel. But does that make me a monster? Doesn’t that make me just like everyone else? Or do you just do a better job of hiding that scoundrel then I do? |
