Rightful ego

Rightful ego

A 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?
