Alter Ego Poem by Janice M Pickett

They said I wouldn't make it
They said I had no fire
That to get ahead in life
was not my chief desire

They said that I was blind
couldn't see the forest
for the trees
They made me feel unwanted
so I did things as I pleased

The path I walked was very long
I stumbled many times
but something kept me moving on
and now I'm doing fine

But I always knew my spirit
I felt the power within
and never have I felt alone
no matter what I did

My journey back to heaven
when I return there by and by
Will not be taken by myself
I'll have

me, myself and I
