My Selves
My better self is very good
And is a man to know
With an ethical way to him
And with an honor code
He really is a person
Living life as he should
And is an example for all others
With his morals good
My better self is a man
That’s respected too
With the things that he does
A lesson for the youth
He really is the best of persons
And tries to never hurt
A kind soul like himself
That’s so easily disturbed
My better self is a man
But still only a man
And I have another side
That few can understand
He is very self-centered man
And often cheats and lies
He also cusses quite a bit
And drinks some every night
My other man is very resentful
And always feels defeated
With the good things in his life
Absent though he cheated
My other self is a person
That few would want to know
And I try my very best
To never let him show
