Do you know me?

Do you know me?
Because you think you do,
But you don’t know the real me,
The real Lennie, the TRUE Lennie.
He could truly shock you!

Do you know me?
Do you know that I hurt people?
These people I care about,
But maybe it’s easier this way,
Because if I hurt you then it won’t hurt me so much.

Do you know me?
I’m selfish and irresponsible,
Thinking about number one always,
Never accepting it was me in the wrong and trying,
Really trying to pass the blame onto someone else.

Do you know me?
Because you think you do,
But do you know the real me,
The real Lennie, The TRUE Lennie.
You think you know me,
You thought wrong!

This is a strong piece Lennie :-)

When you asked :-

"But do you know the real me,
The real Lennie, The TRUE Lennie.
You think you know me,
You thought wrong!"

I thought for a second that I did ;-) and I felt that you were really pushing me to say what I thought - but I resisted and thought I would keep an eye on your work as you slowly peel away the layers lol.

Once again, a strong piece :-)

Now I'm looking forward to the reveal ...

The real Lennie, the TRUE Lennie.
He could truly shock you!

Cheers
Jupiter ;-)
