I am the Me-Me Princess <br />surrounded as I am by all of me <br />I hold fast to the idea <br />that nothing around me is very interesting, except me. <br /> <br />Absorbed as I am with my own thoughts <br />I contend that the charm of this self-obsession <br />is nonetheless <br />more fascinating <br />than the mere complacency I see everywhere else. <br /> <br />If I cannot espy my Hero Man <br />then I will have to suffice with me <br />and perhaps <br />marry myself <br />and spare myself <br />the agonies of love <br />the agonies of childbirth <br />perhaps skip it all <br />and go straight to my imaginary divorce <br />while congratulating myself <br />on my sagacity. <br /> <br />Did I mention that to me <br />I am the thing most interesting? <br /> <br />Don't scold me <br />because you know this might be true; <br />tell me who or what is more fascinating- <br />me or you? <br /> <br />I am choosing myself because I am close at hand <br />and I can be my own best supplicant <br />who will admire me, love me, and never betray <br />Me knowingly. <br /> <br />So I cross-leggedly languish, <br />do my nails <br />watch my programs <br />on my quilted throne <br />in my bedroom realm <br />watching the screen <br />filled up with all the other Me-Me's <br />who are the only one's <br />who really understand Me <br />even if they are not real <br />Me-Me's; <br />You see I am the only real one.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/me-me-2/
