pretending to be me

if you were me,
you would have killed yourself by now,
and if I were you,
I would have asked you to;

luckily for us both,
this whole role-reversal thing
is far less than
it's cracked up to be:
it's a whole lot less
than meets my eye;
not really an answer,
not really something
I want to try:

hard enough most days,
pretending to be me.
