The other Me by kim rosenfield

This poem is about self-conflict of I and the other “I”. It shows that thee “I” was one in the beginning and became two. The other “I” always was always in the way of I. For example, the author wrote, “I comes through, a little. In moments. And gets pushed back by the Other I. Other I get tired.” Both of these I’s are conflicting each other. Later the “I” notices that the other “I” is the other “I”. The other “I” becomes a me.
I chose this poem because I love how this poem isn’t about love, hate, or any of those cliché poems. I like the confliction of I. There is many biblical text that I can related this too. Like the part of “In the beginning was I, and I was good.” Is similar to the text in Genesis of God making earth and him seeing that it was good. Also another text of “I am not only my brother’s keeper. I am my brother” is another reference to Genesis of the story of Cain and Abel. I would love to connect these sources to this poem because it fits perfectly.
