Punchlines
... ...
Myself and I are natural enemies...
Ruthlessly prowling life
Myself and I never clash
We always speak the truth
We are the exception rather than the rule
A symbiotic relationship...
Inherited from long-forgotten lies
Whose fabrications?
Whose cover-ups?
Whose falsehood?
Myself and I write verses...
And no weight is added to them
Myself and I write punchlines
Myself whispers: *You're becoming a headache*
And I say: *Coming from you, it's a big compliment*

Ha! Isn't that the truth, Marks? We are indeed our own worst enemies through thought!
Very cleverly constructed.
