"ME AND I"

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
I see an old lady whose name is ME.
ME is there wherever I go.
Perhaps she is someone I should get to
know.
So one day ME and I decided to chat.
She shared her life's story and just where
she's at.
ME said she's tired of being alone
and having to do everything all on her
own.
I then told ME that I understood.
She then replied that she knew that I
would.
I asked ME if she'd ever been in a funk.
Oh yeah, she said, but I cleared my mind
of that junk!
ME said people might think we are strong.
We both agreed that sometimes people
are wrong.
So ME and I became very good friends
and I now have someone on whom I
depend.
I hope that she won't get tired of my
chatter.
But I then concluded, does that really
matter!

this is really well written
as though two people were having a
natural worthwhile discussion

It's perfect,
not just the grammar
It's the conveyance
the reader doesn't know
a damn thing,
but then they do.

It's really fine writing I think.

Thanks@
