Ego

It's such a crying shame

Because we will never know just 
how great he could have been

Because he let his ego run riot
and take over his talent

And sadly he couldn't recapture
his former self or it

Because his ego simply wouldn't
allow him to entertain the thought
he could possibly be anything
but right not wrong
