he was scared "living the hell" out of his mind when he found his true
self. he couldn't forgive himself for not finding it sooner. now his front
and true self live in harmony. it seems to cut off at the end

i think you must accept how you are, and never try to put a different face,
i like this poem very much, because i have realise that you are only who
you are, and nothing more.

I think this poem is about realizing that maybe we can't always be who we
want, and sometimes we end up beating ourselves up over it, but in the end
we learn to deal with it.

You must accept who you are and never put yourself down. There is none in
truth, even yourself, that should "beat" you, ever.

In Jungian psychology, if we don't recognize and accept our shadow
personalities, (total strangers) they will hurt us unexpectedly. ee
cummings said it succinctly.

this reminds me of the love/hate relationship that we have with ouselves
when we make a ghastly error in an important area of our lives, and must
live to regret it.

"A Total Stranger One Black Day"

This poem reminds me that we are all made up of more than one personqlity,
each being revealed in a different way, depending on the situation. Most
importantly, not all personalities get along, especially our own, with our
own.
