“Splintered Personality” by Nyree M Burt

Crime and punishment
One, Two, three.
Lying in a coffin
And you can't see me

Hidden in the dark.
Am I safe from harm?
The sea's a tempest
But in here its calm.

Banging on the door
Come on, let me in
I'm the strong one
So of course I'll win.

Is there one of me
I'm sure there's more
Two or seventy
But who keeps score?

Reports from others
About splinters of me
Shuts me down
Just let WE be!!
