Further Poems of Emily Dickinson/Me from Myself to banish

​
ME from Myself to banish
Had I art,
Impregnable my fortress
  Unto foreign heart.

But since Myself assault Me
How have I peace,
Except by subjugating
  Consciousness?

And since We're mutual
Monarch,
How this be
Except by abdication
  Me—or Me?
