Life in Others

There is what you would do,
And what others would, themselves,
And depending on who's around,
Either one could be truer to yourself,

Because to yourself, your actions are unfiltered,
By any other perspective,
While if you were somebody else,
You'd have done something completely different,

And still be the same person, just like a great painting,
Doesn't change with the eyes on it,
Though the truth it holds is expressed differently.
So, how does one remain independent?

Well, it's alright,
Because there is no such thing.
I am nothing outside of my relations,
As you are nothing without me existing.
