Sense of Me In the Past
I was sad today;
Because you begged me
To think of your good points,
And I never told you any.
Rest assured there are many,
Very many, I would have liked
To have told you them
There and then.
I tell you so much about my past;
Quite a lot of which is conflictive,
As if several mes
Were struggling for supremacy.
Much of the time,
There was a pretty normal me;
Oh don't get me wrong,
I was always an attention-seeker,
But I really do genuinely struggle
To make sense,
I really do genuinely struggle
To make sense of me in the past.
