All Three of Me

All Three Of Me



    Passive, maybe aggressive, or the assertive one
        Sometimes all three of me but never none

            Situations call for different sentiment
                Personality changes forms to what is relevant

                    Passive in a setting when it's better left unsaid
                        Assertive in judgment of a conversation led

    Aggressive when threatened with facts of fiction
        All three at once manifest in contradiction

            Basically play the part to accomplish the goal
                Without letting anything else take control

                     This is why the saying says me, myself, and I
                         This is why I am three people of the same guy

It is funny how some people refuse to believe that this is true, it's like they refuse to recognize themselves, I don't know...And you are quite welcome, I thank you for writing for my contest and look forward to your entry in my next and last Elements contest (FIRE)

very cool. I bet many of us have some of this in us. I know I can be very aggressive when I need to be, but normally as passive as a lamb!!!

They say and I mean renowned Psychiatrists that we all have these three people inside of us but there is just usually one that dominates the other two
