Double Shelf

Who knows who, do you know yourself.
One may claim too, within mind is a shelf.
There may be you, along with another to hide.
Without a clue, Lost in a wayward pride,
Nothing is new; all has traveled before.
Everything in view, behind closed door,
One mind split two, stays to an encore.
Powerful shades of blue, decorate more.
Who’s to say they flew, raging the score.
Divided just a few, memories galore.
This mind never blew, held with allure.
Your mind may woo, but never tore.
Captivated in zoo, do you know yourself
A step from a few, .all placed upon shelf.
