There are multiple versions of yourself living soundly inside.
A different psyche in altered perceptions, with rules you will abide.

Life somehow implies that we’re strangers; even to ourselves.
A visitor turned host –– they don’t tend to stay themselves.

We must choose adventure, and roam through surging worlds.
A journey to the unknown, where imagination unfurls.

We don’t know much for sure, why pretend we do?
Lying to ourselves to fill the void. Who’s really who?

Interesting point of view.  I like how this work is not sad or depressing.  To many writers of poetry here dwell in deeply negative emotions and experiences.  I suppose depending on the person's emotional state, different facets of a personality can be in evidence.  For example, I am an artist, writer, smart ass, grumpy, sweet, sometimes stupid, talented, loner, loves company...I am full of contradictions.  I think I understand what you are saying here.
