whats changed?

...............
so they say something has changed
and so it has

i don't know why or how or when

but i have gotten worse

does it matter, of course it does
but the how to fix it seems to elude me

as does the what

i know its in my manner
the way i talk and act
but this dark and twisted manner
always was there

but never did the harsh blade cut
anyone else outside
the only one to endure it was myself
listening to what you hear and more

but now the hole is open, we can use that
theres other sides i'd like to see out there
that now can be,

thanks to you

the one with the bloody sword in your hand

my blood, that of my friends
you made this possible
thank you

now the ones that you cut
will see why you do
for now your blade
will shine when it flies
and gleam only for a reason

and so i embrace you
that which i was learning to hate
and hopefully that will help you
understand me
who you are

and so i am
you?

what a concept
why take on this role
shoulder the black cloak
take up the dark blade
find those who hurt me and them
give them what they deserve

wow.... power...

do you ever lose yourself in it?
did you lose me in it?
is that why you were acting like this?
that you had to cut your way out?
have i helped your vision become clear again?
can you see me, do you know who you are?

.....
you
who stand there
asking me
who i am

when you do not know yourself
at all

i am you, if i have to be separate,
clearly theres something wrong...

.......
i'm
just trying to understand
please, forgive me i only wish to see

.....
you ask about my eyes
when yours are so caked in sarcastic constraints..

...
thats only protection from them,
those who don't understand...

......
do they? have you ever given them a chance to see?
is there really something there they're missing?
every day you don't let it out, it dies and so....

you ask why you've changed? before you hadn't,
you just said you had... they didn't believe
so you had to make it so

..........
is that what i've done?

...............
think about it, when you truly believe
you...

......................
act till you become.....


............................
yes exactly, so now that you know why
what about what?
you thought it was me the one who you'd become...
look at yourself, only there is the change
(if there is any) don't look to that which you blame
everyone scapegoats, you know that....

................................
right, right, i understand now...
but how should i fix this?

.......................................
ask me not, trust yourself, i am you
you always have pulled through...

...........................................
thank you...

.............................................
thank yourself....

...............................................
oh......
