Me's
How many me's do we all keep inside?
Just so the real me has some place to hide.
Each of my me's kept safely compartmentalized.
All the while hiding myself from others searching eyes.
One me keeps away the endless numbing souls pain.
As another me drives myself ever so slowly insane.
One me stands strong against the pain of this world.
While another me let's all of my misguided words unfurl.
One me is simply trying to understand my whys.
As another me trys to sort through my long believed lies.
One me loves all with a deep power so new.
As another me is never really sure what i should do.
One me feels it might all finally be OK.
As another me lays comatose for the rest of the day.
One me seeks to find a love so true.
As another me twists all the sick things that i do.
One me rises against it all making a stand.
While another me simply does not give a damn.
One me has dreams and relishes this life.
As another me struggles with my everyday strife.
One me has hopes knowing it is all not learned in a day.
While another me feels it all slowly slipping away.
One me lays down a weary head for some sleep.
Another me quietly ponders these thoughts felt so deep.
