Am I honestly a nice
guy? I feel like I am but im so unsure. I always thoght I was? But
recent events have me questioning myself. Could I have been blinded
by total arrogance? Hiding me from my true self. Or was I just too
damn ignorant to see the reasons behind my actions? Honestly I am
unsure. I don’t even know myself the way I think I do. I get up in
the morning and look at myself in the mirror and wonder who I am. Im
not like I seem myself in my dreams. Im not this decadent handsome
young man with pearly white teeth and glistening brown hair and a
tight body. Im not this over nice guy who treats women like
goddesses. Im not brilliantly smart, or dashing or insanely brave. Im
not loving, un obsessive, easy going. Im not funny, or witty, or
sharped tongued. Im just not who I think I am any more? Who am I? I
feel like a prototypical asshole with nothing else on my mind besides
sex. I think of my self as perverted and dirty. I see myself as a
washed up old fart sitting in a nursery home at the age of fifty five
with a bottle of beefeater in one hand and a medicine cup filled with
vicadine pills in the other, ogling over the nurses and showing my
dog pictures in penthouse magazine. I see myself as a washed up
failure who was so confident about his career and life when he was
younger just to graduate collage, move and end up living his whole
adult life wandering the streets of new York living in boxes and
idolizing the old broken-down theaters on Broadway. Living in the
past dreaming of the golden twenties when life was sweet and not
taken for granted. People never wasted their breath on pitiful ideals
of self-worth and fortune, they lived in the moment. they new no
matter how long life seemed to them, no matter how much crap it
throws at you to cover up its lie, that inevitably it ends, that
father time slowed down the clocks to make their lives seem longer,
that life was less than a millisecond of white noise. What am I to
you? Am I a friend, a lover, an enemy? The question is what am I to
myself?
