"that was an incredibly bad scene
like looking inside myself
and finding a stranger,
someone not only vicious
but downright
evil.
How odd, to suddenly
glimpse a facet of me
I didn't know existed.
I guess it really
isn't
all that unusual to surprise
oneself with an ugly bit
of ego. But was this
unsuspected piece of me
born
at the same instant I was?
Or was it spawned some
time between that moment
and now? I know, I know
it's
a question with no answer,
undeserving of introspection.
But was this hideous thing
conceived, or was it
created?"
