I’m all I have.
I look around
And there I am.
I’ve learnt to get along with myself
The I’m not talking
The tantrums with oneself
Is a bit over indulgent.
I have found another side to me
One who is not always nice
A contrast to my usual
Happy, compliant self.
It means I can discuss life’s issues
Which at times seem monumental.
Our favourite game is what came first
The chicken or the egg.
He says the chicken I say the egg.
We go back and forth for hours
Then call it a day
Well satisfied
Content
Our interactions fruitful
Despite his ridicule
His lack of faith in me.
Most often we agree to disagree
And look forward to tomorrow.
I stood on the rise and looked out today
The vastness before me
Spellbinding
How is it that I am all there is
Me and a billion insects?
So there you are then
I say to myself
Confident
I have a handle on me,
For if I don’t who will?

Who will indeed? It takes courage to face yourself with curiosity and gentleness each day. Heaven only knows how many me’s are in here lol
Ha yes, interesting to consider isn’t it.
Well true – you yourself and I. I think at times we should talk to ourselves more often, at least we would get the right answers. 😀
Only if you are listening though Jenny.
its great to find oneself and diffrent parts of oneself and chose which ones we use the most 🙂 x
Yes so true Justine. Thanks for reading. Have a good day.
This sheds light on the multiple me’s. I know I’m a pretty good person but there’s another me in there that wants to beat me up a lot! Lol! (I’m starting to fight back though 🙂
Good you have identified the ‘you’ you love most. Keep up the good fight Mandy.
I will, Michael!
It can be a fine balancing act. Thinking at times that we are “the cat’s whiskers” and really knowing our place in the world where we can show gentleness, self-control and compassion. Great poem of deep thoughts, Michael.
Thank you so much Lyn, you are very kind.Hope you are having a good day.
Stunningly interesting – I love the way you have used self-conversations and battles to convey your thoughts. There is a gentleness to this piece – a delightful contemplation that is soothing. Great job Michael 😀
Thank you so much Pat, happy you found this so.
