Ego

I wish my wings were valiant, but now they are corrosive. 
I miss when things were simple, but now they are explosive.

I long for distant memories, of a day that weren't a burden. 
When my bones sprang, and jolted, it seems now they're only hurting. 

My ego's taking over
can't help but sniff it's pungent odor. 

I know it kills me when I reap it, 
I know it haunts me when I'm sleeping. 

It defiles the inside of my head. 
It claws beneath my shelter, when I'm lying in my bed.

It defiles the inside of my head.
It claws beneath my shelter, when I'm lying in my bed.


yes Ego can be something
many fight with I don't allow mine to
control the wheel when it happens I stop
as I rather be more Compassionate Jesus
God my LORD and Savior controls the
wheel of my life.


But you described this very well
this is a wonderful piece to help ones
understand Ego but yet your Emotions Towards
what you're dealing with.



This was a very Powerful piece thank you for
sharing nice work Ego is a very Negative feeling
and it can control us if we allow it I don't
always go on my feelings they get my into
trouble and are not always right.


Blessings. Benita

I have found ways of getting myself out of a state of bad or negative ego. This poem was written when I was having a pretty hard time about a year and a half ago, but I have since grown a lot in mind and spirit :)

Thanks so much for your review ♡♡ it was very kind of you.
