Self

Self The person you know most The person you know least Beyond 3 dimensional A fractured kaleidoscope of mystery Yet dropping clue after clue Available to answer any question Your best friend Your worst enemy Self The person you know most The person you know least The stalker The derailer The late night talker Keeping you up late Questioning your own thoughts Suggesting misery for company Self The person you know most The person you know least All the best advice for others Haphazard for yourself Leads you up a blind alley Tells you all the pitfalls Or neglects to mention danger Leaves you trembling Self The person you know most The person you know least Can't leave you calm Rouses and unnerves you Says it'll all be ok unconvincingly Leaves you poor reviews Builds you up Knocks you down Self Source of awareness poetry contest 17 January 23 Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
