A Poem About All My Selves
Multiple Me
My other self
releases her grip
and lets me
be I
and I emerges
like the Phoenix
guided through
the unfamiliar caverns
of my own mind
by her vigilant
gatekeeper
But
she waits in the wings
to seize the moment
of grand entrance
when she appears
to dull the pain
and take control
as she pushes I down
and I retreats
into deeper recesses
of my psyche
locked away
again
by her vigilant gatekeeper
the self that saves
