Losing the Ego
Losing the ego
Swallowing your pride
Embodying your philosophy
Metamorphosis - manifesting inside
The ego you carry
Around in your head
The illusion of importance
Sense of self; dead
The ego craves attention
Loquacious; trivialities all the time
Desiring affirmation
Pompous thoughts in his mind
Validation is necessary
Recognition a must
Exposing the façade
The ego gets crushed
Losing the ego
Curtain close for the show
The end of an image
Liberation - letting go
Now you’re in charge
You’re content being you
Pridefulness lowered
Character comes through
Humility in life
Being true to yourself
Conquering the ego
Mastering of oneself
“The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion becomes your identity that can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do is a backwards way of assessing and living life”
-Wayne Dyer
