Ego Poem by Fadwa Daddou Gmiden

In our world we have dreams and desires
In our world we have love and hate
But all of that works through our Ego
It keeps us from falling apart
It teaches us how to act
How to put a smile
How to play strong
How to be away from the one w love

We push them from our lives
Because of some mistakes
Or because of forbidden love
We decide to forgot them
And move on in our way
But all of that is an act

We act that forget them
But each we cry on their names
We act that we forgot their voices
But each night we remember how they used to sing
We act that we don't miss them
But secretly we look to their pictures
To the messages they sent
To the souvenirs they left
That we're hiding it in some secret place

We pass by them and our Ego shows
'Be strong and act like move on'
They speak to us and our Ego shows
'Be strong and act like forgot their voice'
We smell their perfume and our Ego shows
'Be strong and act that you don't this smell'

Our Ego shows us strong and healed
When we are falling apart inside
Our Ego makes look like unbreakable
When our souls suffer and our hearts bleed

But we still listen to our Ego
Because somehow is the only thing is fixed.
