Between, me, myself and I

by Michael   Jun 28, 2017


Upon my shoulders
either side
stand two worlds
with such divide.

For one sits an angel
the other a demon
with..

I,

sat right
in-between
them.

One,
inspires me, to achieve my aim
One,
just relishes, inflicting pain
One,
offers a fruitful bowl
One,
just wants to buy my soul

To hell with the
One,
with left-wing spite

I'll keep to the
One
with wings on my right

But,

the truth really, quite plain to see
This warring trio, are all of
of me

    This is a nice depiction of the speaker's conscience/personality, depending on which theorist the reader subscribers to.

    In the last stanza, I believe the apostrophe in "piece's" is unnecessary.

    I found your use of punctuation quite curious. It gave the piece an interesting pace.

    Michael, I really liked this a lot. We are always fighting ourselves for right and wrong. We are also our own worse enemy. Well done-

    Its these three people that we deal with day in and day out
    and we set our doubts and decisions within us to talk and deal.
    We all have that good and bad, the tempter and the angel :)
    Nicely penned!

    For one sits and angel

    ^^Its a typo here "for one sits an angel"
