Rightful egoA Poem by M.Kilani
They can try
They can leave They can lie They can believe I offer none but a free will Asylum for the homeless A cure for the ill And in the end they'll leave speechless You can try to use me I'm willing to give it all Until you abuse me I'll step aside and watch you fall And I'll stand proud I will stay truthful Lacking you were found Once I made you whole you became ungrateful You can shake your head and deny You can drown in your own drink You can't break what you defy Take a moment and just think I teach greatness, I teach grace I took a leap when you took a pace I pave my road, I made my fate Yet you still hold your grudge and your hate Look me in the eye, try to break my pride Put them emotions all aside Tell me that my deeds you will forget Tell me you'll leave without regret I grew a man long ago Another in my place would've been broken None of childish games I know The secrets I know will remain unspoken I knew no greed I had no need All I did was out of desire And you are a spark beside my fire Yet I was humble, I always have been Ego you can call it, but I have the right to be proud You'll need two lives to know what I've seen My whispers do echo, while your scream has no sound Still you want to insult? Defend your own fault? I ask you not to, like many others before Someone will answer if you knock the devil's door This is not what it seems Don't be afraid I've fulfilled my dreams What have you made?
