The Other Me
The Other Me
Written By: Famekia Dingle
Within me we correspond
About the simple ways I go about my day.
Sometimes you stop me to say
Good job, well done, and you did great
Often you’ll wake me up with a song
And it will keep me going all day long.
I feel sometimes like maybe I’m crazy
It seems as if no one understands me.
Not you, you never let me down,
you’re always my friend
No matter what I do you’re there till the end.
You have given me comfort in my loneliest time.
You’ve been there even when I didn’t have a dime.
You’ve built me up where I was not strong
You’ve walked with me my whole life long.
If I didn’t know any better or if I tried to pretend
I would have to say you are another person within.
Walking, Breathing, Eating, Sleeping, and Thinking
Just as I do
But we won’t tell anyone
Let’s keep that between me and you.
