Ego Poem by Vanessa Hughes

Ego

Rating: 5.0


I need to lose my ego
It carries me away
To places I don't want to be
And stresses out my day

I need to lose my ego
It forges way ahead
Evoking anger, stirring hurt
My ego's easily lead

I need to halt my ego
It feeds on grief and pain
Only when it's truly starved
Will I feel at ease again
