The Duality of Man or Woman, in this case

Emily Dickinson has much to do with why I love poetry today. This poem deals with the difficulties of conflicting feelings or thoughts, some which may even be harmful, but are nonetheless hard to let go of, because they are still part of what makes you you. I love it.

Me from Myself -- to banish –
Had I Art –
Impregnable my Fortress
Unto All Heart --
But since Myself -- assault Me –
How have I peace
Except by subjugating
Consciousness?And since We're mutual Monarch
How this be
Except by Abdication
–Me -- of Me?

-Emily Dickinson
