Ego
It comes in many forms
A nudge, feeling or whisper...
That internal voice
But the ego is a trickster...
I used to listen
Even gave it all my power...
It left me helpless
Vulnerable like a flower...
Then suddenly one day
I paid close attention...
Not one word of comfort
Did my ego ever mention...
So I straightened up
As I said 'Wait one minute'...
You only show me fear
Or that I've reached my limit...
I took in a breath
And I stood my ground...
I now know my worth
By your words I won't be bound...
You have torn me down
As you held me back...
This I have allowed
Since confidence I did lack...
I bared you my soul
Thinking you would protect me...
Little had I known
All you'd do was reject me...
So now here I am
Awake and so strong...
I stand here so proudly
To show how you were wrong...
I have let you go
Though I work on it daily...
You like to peek in
But it is now rarely...
