Two selves of me

Written on 7.12.2016

Caught between the two selves of me,
who are party to an invisible Third,
One intuits it, but the second doesn't see,
And, as expected, lives in constant hurt.
I am the fourth, left out,
unable to resolve this dispute between the two,
In this Greatest of bouts above the clouds,
To convince either of the other's fallacy,
living within one soul,
Without offending intelligences,
Without limiting their roles,
Tormented often in my own;
My education taught me to be
impartial in everything,
Yet confirmed in nothing,
Biasing me against a King,
Placing logic over the All-Knowing,
Omnipotent impotence, the All-Seeing,
Choosing the Socratic Unknown,
'I know one thing, that I know nothing,'
No matter what I've read or been told.
