My Other Halves

Me and him and her we are all. He is confident and forceful, she is doubting and horrible. Me, I am stuck in the middle. on my own. Only getting attention when I quietly demand and subtly moan. Friend or foe? They toe the party line, they are me. They tell me great things that I do and things I see. They give me reason and hold my esteem fast like glue. Outside: I am at the bottom not even one foot on a rung, not even a clue. So tell me why, if you can. I should not live with my two? Star and celeb I am in their time. Here I can do no wrong, I have committed no crime. They may scream and yell, but they do tell; true lies. So I'm going to stay in my place, Alerted inside: to your other world, inquisition spies. Trying fragile heart: while I dry my eyes. I work in mental health and was inspired to write of someone I know who has schizophrenia.
