Literature Text

Who are you?
Your actions are so familiar,
Your face a sight
For sore eyes.
The voice that drifts out
Of your mouth
So melodic,
So beautiful.

Do I know you?
I feel as if we have met before.
Your laugh touches
My heart.
I could stare into
Your eyes all day;
They are a blue
That I recognise.

Am I you?
We speak at the same time.
We breathe in sync,
We blink in time.

But I do not recognise you.
You are more confident
Than me. You smile
As if you have
No fear.
You hold yourself up high
Without caring
What anyone else thinks.

Can I be you?
I envy your talent
To make others smile.
You write beautiful passages
That inspire people.
Others look up to you
And they respect you.

I want to be you.
You have had no horrors
In your life
You have not wished
To be someone else.
Everything is perfect
For you.

Who are you?
The first of two.
