Better than you think.

Specifically written for therene contest persona.

Ego! Never at par with being mellow.
And the individuality of such fellow, so obvious like a yellow glow.
And this fit hold not so good a note.
Always as such, when the negative side is spiralled into.
And such you hold, is that hope of not wanting to descend so low.
But that same height, you've been hanging for quite a while.
But the negative side, a splendour to always explore.
To discover, is the path to springing high in a short while.
A secret to being the shine in a dark universe.
Now you see, you are better than what you think.
So egoistic, but there you are; dancing, swimming in peace, among super human being.
And those character flaws you exploit.
An unlimited carriage to the realm you dreamed off.

So therene;
I look into your eye i see your ego,
Shining over your self doubt shadow,
You've got a name; to applaud, perfecto!
So see beyond what other think.
And let your ego take you to where you seek.

Author's Note

All i want to do is describe therene as being egoistic in a good way. Am i still in line?

powerful write!! this is an unique concept ... an honor to read it....

It is interesting to consider the ego as being a beneficial factor to ones self. Usually an ego is thought of as a character flaw, especially when it is overwhelming. You made me rethink that idea and realize how important it is to have a least a little bit of an ego in order to exist with confidence and pride. Well done.

Very well done my friend..

Deep and thought provoking write which expresses the negative and the positive sides of being egoistic. We all have an ego of sorts and need it to grow into all we can be. Thanks for sharing this.

Ego we have, ego we need .. when it balances with self-doubt or humility, it has a place in character.

Your writing here is interesting, maybe too much of a mix of traditional and modern words, but .. nonetheless your thoughts are extraordinarily deep and so worthy of putting down (or up on the pc)

Thank you for sharing ..
