Slave of my Ego.A Poem by Anju.HYour ego saved you when you were scared to ask for help, you accepted the help, forgot everything costs,now you became slave of your ego, surrounded by unreachable wall.
But I'm a slave;
Slave of my own ego What is there to fight for? you can't be free from yourself. Nothing sinful: In feeding your own saviour. What is evil to donate Some tears, some blood, some sweat, to the one: Who wiped your tears buried your bruise even with chilies. "It'll keep you safe" whispered my ego "Won't I be called Saint; Of my own"? "You won't face the world They're scared of your slavery They won't allow you You won't reach them That's how you'll keep feeding me" What is outside the wall? I never wandered If this is the way to keep me safe Let it be. © 2023 Anju.H |
