I'm Never Alone

After reading John Herlihy's poem, Never Truly Alone, I had to post my version on the subject.

 I’M NEVER ALONE

 

I’m never alone,

I’m always with myself.

My constant companion,

Like bookends on a shelf.

 

I don’t mind being by myself.

I’m pretty good company.

I can carry on a conversation,

Even though it’s just with me.

 

I can go through the day,

Just me, myself, and I.

We all know each other,

Because we’re all the same guy.

 

I could be in solitary,

Denied the use of a phone,

But I’d still be with me,

I never leave myself alone.

I'm sure glad it was just your multiple personality self, and not your shadow again. That damn shadow is too sneaky and creepy to be a real companion!

Seriously, I love it when you're being funny and everyone takes you seriously. That's the sign of a good writer. You catch them coming from all sides.

As for me, I laughed at your poking fun of treating your various writing persons as companions. Good stuff.

Excellent poetic thoughts! One thing I learned in prison ministry that sometimes the hardest thing for prisoners to do is forgive themselves for a crime they committed and move on with life. It's hard to imagine not feeling comfortable and at peace with yourself when you are by yourself, especially at night. One mafia-hit-man once told me that he had everything but peace. Therefore he had nothing! There was always the feeling that someone was going to sneak up, tap him one the shoulder and tell him his life was history! No peace, no joy, no comfort and nowhere to hide from himself. Wow! What a way NOT to live!
Amen!

Me neither, I usually talk to my apartments walls, but if they talk back, then I will commit myself to the local mental ward...:) -e-
