Me, Myself and I
4.21.2018
“When I close my eyes,”
she says
“I am anywhere but here
and I am happy.”
“But when I open them again,”
she says
“I find I’m nowhere but here…
seems no escape
from my reality.”
It’s wrong
To do this to anyone
But when
You’ve done it to yourself
Made your enemies your friends
Put the real ones on the shelf
I made my hell
It’s just as well
I don’t just blame myself
I blame the three of us
Me, myself and I
But not a one of us
Holds the answer as to why
All that’s left’s the question
As to who may hold the key
To this cage
Please set me free
Please let me fly
I beg the three of us
Me, myself and I
But not a one of us
Holds the answer as to why
I can’t break free
But then
But then I look down
Down to my hands
They hold the metal
They hold the plans
To forge the key
When I hit bottom
I must have picked them up
While begging on my knees
Thought only I could hear my pleas
Thought only I...
Now all that’s left
Is to answer my own question
As to who now holds the key
To this cage
To set me free
To let me fly
I tell the three of us
Me, myself and I
‘Cause finally one of us
Holds the answer as to why
I hold them both
The answer
And the key
“Now when I close my eyes,”
she says
“I can remember being there
but now I’m happy.”
“And when I open them again,”
she says
“I see I’m anywhere but there
made my escape
my new reality.”
I thank the three of us
Me, myself and I
I made the key
Set myself free
Unlocked the cage
With me inside
Found it was I
The whole time caged
Found it was I
Who had the wings to fly
Me, myself and I
Me, myself and I
