I exist only by my name. For there is no other acknowledgement of me.
Everyone is always around me, all talking at once, voices overlapping, their thoughts, opinions and ideas screaming inside my head, but still just me, they fade, blur, and pass.
I remain still, solid, clear.
In the end its just me.
I have a lot of friends, good ones, some I trust, others I don't.
The ones I don't trust, is because I know them too well, I know their habits and what they do with information, few you can actually trust, the ones that are silent, still in the background. one of the reasons I have so many friends is I am one of the silent ones in the background.
I observe.
With the experiences I've had, I've molded my idea of a friend. I guess I can be picky, but I do not give my trust away easily. You have to earn it. I don't put you through a series of tests, I don't give you an audition or anything like that. I get to know you, know your weaknesses, know your strengths, beliefs and dreams. A silent observer. The fact that I have a memory protrudes to the surface, making me seem stalker-ish, suspicious. like I know too much in too short a time. It isn't my fault that you tell me things and I remember them. Its not like I use them against you. So, when you complain that I don't trust you, look into your soul. Look for what I would trust, if you can't find it, then why keep wasting my time?
I know this seems harsh, me telling you to be trustworthy or bugger off. But its simple, why would I want to be around someone that isn't trustworthy? I might seem like I'm a closed book, but you just have to learn how to flip the page.

Very profound, but just one thing of warning. Those of us who are the silent observers that you seem to treasure so much are the ones that you should fear most. Those that rush into battle are reckless and may hurt you, but those that stand aside and watch will crush you with a well placed blow.
I know plenty of dirt on my friends that would end there existences as they know them to be. But that doesn't make me trustworthy or not. The point is that you can't just trust and value someone that is silent. How many shooters, murderers, or stalkers were the silent/harmless type?
Beware the shadow.
