Awareness of our duality is the first step to wisdom, at least in my (not so) humble opinion, good poem, relatable (is that a word, it should be)

Mmm, i can understadn what you mean , i jsut expected a good rhyming one and good structure

"I treat my life like a show - an illusion"

I love the contrast you used with life and an illusion.

"I'm the main act whose gift is deception"

Another great contrast between the two. Such opposites.

"Where I do not slip into my various characters
And every time I do
I don't really take note"

This reminds me of a diamond, it has many faces (different characters) its beautiful but deadly with the various faces/characters it has.

"Therefore people can't say they know me
For there are many parts
And not every part is shown to one individual
I'm the only one who truly sees me"

I can understand this, I wrote something like that about how people can never really see the true me. I like how you put it together.

"It'll be like my own secret
Whom I'll talk about with myself only
No one else needs to know
They can just see the side I present them
Sorry..... "

I can see its hard to trust, its hard to let people see what you really are. And I love how you put it together again great poem . I like your writing style

Great poem my dude. Keep on writing. I personally love the topic of this poem. Cause lately I been thinking this and that. Does anyone know me for me, stuff like that. Great write
