Myself and Me By I
I would say that I am beside myself
but I cannot see any other me
or even garner what such means.
If I am truly side by side as two
then both must be clothed in obtuse.
I cannot get over myself, I once
tried and we both nearly died.
Yes, it's an impossible feat,
and one I could not complete.
I may be out of touch with myself
but my hands can sense my skin
so, I am not a delirium figurine.
If I were simply tired of myself then
just sleeping and waking up again
would bookend dreams that mediate
peace within all my breathing states.
I will not say I cannot stand myself
because I can without need of aid
and, besides, that sounds egregious
especially to my delicate ears.
Wherever I go, myself also same time shows
and fails to sate my happiness elated
far above indigent moods that take it.
