The (I) in Me

My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is
but a garment I wear - a care-woven garment
that protects me from thy questionings and
thee from my negligence. The “I” in me,
my friend, dwells in the house of silence,
and there in it shall remain forever more,
unperceived, unapproachable.

- Gibran Khalil Gibran
