How He Dealt With His Ego.. Poem by M. Asim Nehal
How He Dealt With His Ego..
There, the mighty ego, once stood tall
thought HE was the centre of it all
but little did HE know, a fate so grim
was waiting for HIM, oh how slim
HIS world revolved around his own pride
never did HE let anyone else abide
but one day, fate played its cruel game
and HIS ego was put to shame
It all started with a simple mistake
a slip of tongue, oh what a fake
but HIS ego, it could not handle
and thus began its ultimate dismantle
First, it started with a little bruise
but soon it turned into a huge abuse
HIS pride, it took a serious blow
and HIS ego, it started to slow
HE tried to hold on, to keep it alive
but HIS ego, it could not survive
It slowly withered, faded away
leaving HIM vulnerable, in disarray
No longer was HE the Center of attention
no longer did HE demand perfection
HIS ego, once so mighty and strong
was now gone, forever gone
And as HE look back, with a sigh
HE realize, it was all a lie
HIS ego, it was just a facade
a mask HE wore to hide HIS flaws
So here HE stand now without a trace
of HIS ego, once upon a face
and I must say HE did a fantastic thing
to finally let go of HIS false EGO....
Excellent work, thought and write.May be pod one fine morning.
It sounds like you have a very big ego yourself to write a poem like this. It takes one ego to recognize another, doesn't it, my friend …
I believe that my INFERIOR wife is meaning 'ego' with THIS meaning: 'An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.' Well I'm ONLY acting sa any SUPERIOR person would around an INFERIOR ONE! ! ! You may now award me the FIVE stars I deserve for this, my comment. bri : )
My wife seems to feel I have an ego [she may say a 'large ego' or 'too big of an ego'; it's been while since she told me.
Of the THREE definitions I quickly found by 'googling' 'define ego', I wonder which definition YOU AND YOUR READERS are thinking of; perhaps different ones are 'using' DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS? ? ! ! i THINK, Asim, you should state 'your' definition! : )
