"Selfie"

In you, 

I see a king, 

conspiring assassination 

of the rebel pauper.

In you, 

I see a pauper rebel,

fighting for freedom, 

in a kingdom of hate. 

In you, 

I see the emphatic wins,

the heartbreaking failures.

I read a million stories,

of triumph, and torture, 

and faded glories. 

And you reveal to me,

all that is you.

For I can decipher 

the codes of mask

under which you hide. 

Yes I know that you know that I know

the real me is on the other side.
