A walk with me myself and I

A walk with me myself and I

A Poem by Shannon

Today in the park i was talking
With me, myself, and I
And slowly as we were walking
Me told a little lie
But then myself called her out
And said "that's just not true"
And I of course said with a pout
"This i surely rue"
And knowing me
She could not see
That she just would not win
So myself and i
Picked apart her lie
And revealed the truth within
And now I won't trust me
And myself refuses to walk
Apart with me in the park by the sea
Where the arrogant gulls gawk

But oh how i do miss them
Me myself and I
Me was quite outspoken
Myself was quite shy
And I of course was a balance
Because of my reference....why?

To me only my opinion matters
And to myself i am polite
And i of course am perfect
Funny how point of view matters, to make yourself just right....

Internal conversation-- really like the creativity here and the growth process you create here. I think we all can relate to this poem-- excellent work!

In this you kind of give the feel of split personalities... A way of explaining to yourself the things you dislike about... yourself. It's almost as if you aren't sure which part of yourself you would rather be, because each of which has their own faults.. But all in all you are still yourself, No matter how you word it. It's almost confusing but makes perfect sense to those who experience the same thing.

This is dubbed as my favorite. (: Excellent piece!

This is a wonderful introspective piece. The eternal struggle within searching for the who or what we all are. I truly love the playful way you described the 'conversation' with self. The final stanza sums it all up. Again there is a lot said here. Beautiful write.
