The Two of Me

Louisa Burgess
There are the two of me
I'm sure you know it or will see

Strongly convinced bleeding heart old me
opinionated and righteous at times bad me

Not always bad but often hard
that other me is blunt and marred

But I like her she's courageous and brave
unlike her other me she doesn't always behave

Fair and cautious is the me people know best
even tempered and tolerant she is blessed

She is liked by others for her objectivity
softer edges yes that is usually me
