After the test

Me, myself, and I
Three different selves living as one,
Having the same thoughts sharing the same head.

Me, myself, and I
Me works hard to understand and comprehend
But myself has no self-esteem, no assurance

I hates pressure and stress
Me becomes upset and sits up all night with I and myself

Myself tells me how dumb, how very stupid
I feels stressed and seeks an outlet

Me feels frustrated and scared and turns to myself,
but myself is not there
I'm all alone

I wants to sleep but myself will not let me
Me ponders with confusion and tries to make sense

of me, myself, and I
Me in a state of sleeplessness in the darkness

I being such a fool
Myself telling me over and over again
How stupid, how very stupid of you.
