... Legion, for I am many. I was at a point in time, one individual, one entity. But you changed all that. You look at me and judge me with your trying eyes. Hypocrite! I can read your expressions of love, hate, anger, lust and fear even as the motions of your mouth convey another language. I was naive once and it was then that I used to wonder at the mixed reactions registered on your face plain as daylight and how much appearances matter to you, non-contextual though they were.
I created all these masks for you coz you want me to appear "normal" and your definition of normal is as varied as the societies, institutes, laws and countries that you have contrived. Be that as it may, I dont know who I am anymore. I look in the mirror hoping to get a clue but all I see are my eyes, a distant flame burning somewhere in their depths. My name is Legion for I am many and if you are looking at me then you are looking at something that I want you to see. The real beast lurks within!
