Me and Myself By I

I would say that I am beside myself but I cannot see any other me or even garner what such means; so, if I am truly side by side as two then both must be clothed in obtuse. I may be out of touch with myself but my hands can sense my skin so i am not a delirium figurine. If I were simply tired of myself then sleeping and awakening again would bookend dreams to mediate peace within all my breathing states. I will not say I cannot stand myself because I can without need of aid and, besides, that sounds egregious especially to my demure delicate ears. Wherever I go, myself also same time shows unable to consecrate my happy elated far above indigent moods that take it. August 28, 2019

I often feel 'out of touch with myself,' CayCay, You've written an in depth analysis of the way many of us think. Congratulations on your write. I hope you're well and happy.

Great take on the saying, "I am beside myself". I really liked this look into the meaning on non-meaning of the phrase as it applies to you. I wonder, if I were beside myself would I recognize me? : ) Best wishes in the contest my friend.

Excellent verse Cay Cay really love how you broke yourself down into little bits to investigate the paradox of life. Great job and good luck in the contest.
