Am I Evil?

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not the calm person you see
What you see before you is the face
That I have forged to fit in with you all

If it weren't for my vast knowledge
And my natural understanding
Of the inner workings of the mind
You would see the horrible real me

I am at heart a sadist and questioner
I'm the kind of person who looks up
To greats like John Kramer and Josef Mengele
For their pursuits of pain and understanding

If it weren't for my understanding
Of the common person's mind
I would be my inner-self all the time
Always testing the limits of body and will

These eyes of mine see more than most
I can instantly tell your weakest points
And be able to exploit your darkest fears
Just from the look of your eye and sound of voice

I lust to not only test myself but others too
To see how far one would go to save their life
Or even the lives of one they cherish
To witness the extents of love and hatred

In this society I can never know
What I have always constantly wondered
The real me must always stay locked away
Cause the normal mind cannot understand

To play the game, to test the body and will
To create environments that push the limits
Would most overcome their fears for true love
Or would they throw it away and save themselves

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
You only ever see the face I've forged
For the innocent minds to witness
To hide from this world my constant wonder
That most would deem me a psychopath for
But seeing how it's all for knowledge
Am I really that evil?
