Three Persons In One

there is a crowd in us each trying to get each other heard one does that in all silence that his wish is to be left all on his own without being disturbed how many persons are there in each human? at least three and two are zealous guards of their own territory and heavens they can play devil or angel to each other wrestling all the weapons around them there is a face to save and a stomach to feed so each can go on with his chore to keep everything going this human alive and well with some dignity when the head and the heart fight, they are like devil; you cannot get any of them to give in each wants to make sure his entity is respected that he is what he is; compromise yes, giving in, no the third person may as well be left all alone you cannot even negotiate with him; he goes on and on on its own whether you are awake, asleep or even dead he is the receptacle of your whole being, as well as the usual painful bystander who takes everything that blows up our top, hatred, injustice, setbacks...in his stride he is the one the other two desperately try to stand up for again and again
