My Ego Poem by Stacey Gibbs

I'm talking to my mom about college
and it slowly turns to an argument
I yell at her that she doesn't care
and she says ok
I stomp off to my room
slamming the door
I scream into my pillow
as I begin to recede to my mind
I think about the argument
and begin to cry
I said horrible things
that broke my mom's heart
I wish I could go back
to change what I've done
My ego always creeps up on me
it's like there's another me saying those horrible things.
