Me, Myself, Or I?

Seems as if I lost myself Forgot myself Left me behind Neglected I. Selected an alternate being Infringed upon my own personality I’ve been selfishly abandoned Vacated Became a derelict And now I’m desperate In need of a meeting Featuring the guest speaker of me, myself, and I. Hi me, meet myself. How do you do? Well, now that you ask, I’m slightly confused Down with the blues. And have not a clue were me, myself, and I departed. Maybe if I knew….. I mean if I could remember….. We may reunite again Repair yourselves with super glue. It’ll be as if we’re brand new! Well, maybe slightly used. How could this be? How could I loss me? I was together, my sh** was perfect Perfection got the best of me And when precision failed, as it always does I couldn’t find the rest of me. So invested in me. That was the test for me. Examine me please! This cannot be my destiny Living my days not knowing me Egotistically denying myself Supporting only I Loving the hushed, myself Who keeps us separate. NO this cannot be. This WILL not be. I love the entirety that constructs me The identity composing me The simple thoughts, words, and actions That makes me, unique. Yes this is me! This is myself! This is I! -S Harris*
