This I Am

by Midnight-sama

Lex Luthor is many things but he is not evil. He is simply human and like all humans he is flawed. He is misguided, misinterpreted, and misunderstood. Lex Luthor is many things and no matter how complex or simple, Lex Luthor is still simply Lex Luthor.

I don't own Smallville.

This I Am

I am friend and foe

The lover you will ever know

Because the secrets of this mind

Are the kind

That are taken to death

So when I breathe my last breath

Make sure you're near

So you might hear.

I am right and wrong

And it won't be very long

Until you see my lies wrapped in lust

Yet in me you still trust

Because I know all your fears

But know that when you cry

You help build another lie.

I am sinner and saint

I can't help but taint

Everything I touch

It didn't matter that much

Until you crashed into my life and destroyed my walls

Now as everything falls

I can't help but smile

Because I haven't had that much fun in a while.

This I am and will always be

But will you ever see

That beneath all the lies is me

I wish I could be the one you need

And not all my actions are fueled by greed

But when you point your finger and scream

All I can do is point back and dream

That one day you'll see all is not what it may seem.

The End
