Heisenberg's principle

Here I give it in full:

By observing an event

one changes that event

thus rendering people unable

to figure out what it's like

when they're not there


Such it is

How it is

with me, I

when I

am alone.


It used to be

that I was myself always and no one else

There was no need for compartmentalization

of the certain actions wrought out of physical impulse

For that is how it started-my distortion, annihilation

From there it expanded


Once I accepted

my body doing things I neither direct nor control

soon the things I believed and thought

were stranded in ambiguity

Did I really see that? Or did I just here that

in my head?


Or is there really a difference?

Either way I'm horrified

Thank God I can stratify

and temporarily reside

as a character of my higher being


For times I can be sane

But the lengths of such durations persistently wane

Thus mostly I'm trapped in insanity'

Then comes in handy

the final way in which I may compartmentalize


How I look and how I feel

can be with attention completely separated

It only takes some skill, little will

mostly focus


For if I know you're there I'll act differently

And you'll never know who I really am

Being the split identity

I can't say I'd know either.
