Kelly Hitchcock Poet Rhyme

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

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly March 30, 2018 at 6:06 AM Nicely stated, Kelly, and spot on. Ego, deceptive with its host, presents a fake illusion, making the real self seem like a bothersome intrusion. I like Wayne Dyer, too. All the best. :) ~ Artsie Kelly Hitchcock March 30, 2018 at 11:22 AM Thank you Artsie! Its the true self false self dichotomy. Socrates said it best.... "If you want to become great, become the person you present yourself to be"
