Ego Or...

The story of my ego and how we never really got along...

She stood at the corner
 
behind a building’s wall
 
listening, looking like a peeping tom
 
the shatters and scratching and scraping reached her ears
 
like a telegram
 
from a far away land
 
letting her know that something -
 
something very interesting– was happening.
 
 
from behind the wall she could see
 
me and my ego having a duel
 
a bout of anger and resentment.
 
My thick skin... my shell, even,
 
my ego was acting out
 
expressing her disrepute
 
how disgusted she is by me
 
for trying to control her.
 
she was about to leave me alone now,
 
and I would be naked... NAKED!!
 
“why cant we just get along?” I asked her
 
she hissed... and was very pissed and
 
refused to stay.
 
 
Spitefully she shattered herself
 
pieces of her exploded from me,
 
giving me such a fright
 
and after all of her shell was gone
 
she quickly stripped away
 
her softest layers
 
leaving me with only remnants
 
little patches of chafed skin
 
that I’m sure in time she intends to also take.

(2014)

I'm lonely and naked now...in a spiritual sense
