Alter Ego

You may have known me well,

Yet not clear as a bell.

To you I'm who you see,

Not the true inner me.

Who am I? Though,

Even I don't know.

Who am I really?

Yugi or Yami?

I'm always in control,

'Cause I'm the original,

But sometimes it's reversed.

Oh why do I have to be the first

To deal with an other, an ancient spirit

Within me? (the thought makes me irate)

The uneasy thought clouds my mind

And in school I fall behind.

Who can care about school at a time like this

When your world is plunged into a shadowy abyss?

All this angst makes my emotions burst.

(I wonder if I'm cursed).

You don't know how I feel about this absurd reality

To have another self, a second personality.

The worlds of shadow and light collide,

A feeling that I cannot abide.

On the contrary he helps me cope,

When there is no more hope.

Yami will always be an important part

Of not only my mind but also my heart.

He's my side of darkness and shadow,

He's my second self, my alter ego.
