False Ego is Talking

Roshny 1974 (Vista)



Forget accountability
that's for stupid morons
I'm above the rest
I don't feel sorry
and if I ever say I'm sorry
it's cause I got caught
is only for appearances
to stay in your good graces
and keep using you.

I know I'm better than others
I will take advantage
I never feel remorse
and if you let me choose
I'll take the largest piece
I won't be humbled
I'll take every crumb
and if I feel ignored
or in some way done wrong
I'll take revenge without remorse
so keep praising me, I need it,
I feed on it.
If you don't feed me, I'll feed myself
and I'll keep on feeding on you
until you become exhausted and run
but I'll blame you
because you couldn't handle
someone as great as myself.

I believe life is poetry, we should be able to express what's in our hearts freely. Each one of us views life differently at different times. I find reading other's work provides a window into their heart and soul. more…
