Once Upon a Ego

Once upon a time there never was an Ego For it was alive by the breath of wishes of those who were suffocating from it I carried the cross for being egoist Had my hands nailed, had myself hailed Confident rain was self-absorbed Self-esteem felt the pain Self-assertive had risen and reign To conquer and succeed I was self-assured That I too was not self-conscious I never was an empty vessel 'cause I was self-contained I couldn't handle to be self-effacing Greatness was self-evident People stand with me for being self-opinionated For they cannot fall for self-pity In the frame of success I see a self-portrait Less of the devil for I was self-possessed I had plans to be wealthy but not selfish For my soul is sold to me Once upon a time there never was an Ego For it was alive by the breath of wishes of those who were suffocating from it Created by mental act, a big head bloated by self-inflicted praise and external compliments It is evident that its been hated that I've been Ahead (a head) Its better if people held their breaths and never deliver compliments Reduce the explosion of me being big headed Or leave me alone with my good looks & big nose And I remain breath taking Taking away opinions and displaying facts Handsome, good looking has never been the question To answer attraction with confidence As I walk confidently around big names, as big headed As they speak unmoving words with no flames My big name, amongst lame names, I lament to their ineptitude I have suffered the loudest noises of being tagged as arrogant I now continue to walk boldly  & tramp on fingers of those who have cut their hands short not to applaud me But what I say is Label me arrogant Certify and stamp me as arrogant Race for first place to call me too confident And your opinion comes in at last place At the finish line, my gold medal, my golden thoughts My presence is victorious, Make me a subject to you predicates As a premier of self-acceptance A victim & short-faller of your acceptance A preface to ego There never was Once upon on a time But there was confidence, it always had its Ego Crucify me for juggling your critics Once upon an ego Once upon a Me Cos it was,has, and will always be about me and my Ego
