Overinflated Poems


Premium MemberEgomania

The man who lacks all humility

His persona so overrated

Redemption is but futility

With his ego overinflated

Then as a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing

A predator in search of a kill

Unrestrained and lacking self-loathing

Expecting all to bend to his will

In a web of his own construction

Unfortunate if caught in his hands

While he feeds on others destruction 

So unapologetic he stands

With his character just one sided

This cad needs to be put in his place

From all our lives should be divided

And then outcast from the human race

History Will Always Show

Those in the know,
Know that history will will always show,
That lack of cooperation will deal a hard blow,
To an overinflated ego,
And many a society disappears from the show,
When cooperation becomes a no go.

Those in the know,
Know that history will always show,
That lack of consequences will deal a hard blow,
To those who fail to control an overinflated ego,
And many a society disappears from the show,
When lack of consequences is all go.

A Kid Superior An Adult Personality Disorder

As a kid they made you believe 
you’re blessed with rare abilities 
there’s nothing you cannot achieve 
Ingrained by attention you received 

In adulthood with this belief 
too damn lazy to succeed 
it manifests low self esteem 
All the things you could have been 

But you can’t face the reality 
your ego grows your vanity 
Overinflated superiority 
a disordered personality 

You don’t like those who succeed 
Even though they’re everywhere 
Behave a dick head out of need 
A Good for nothing who doesn’t care 

Obviously too weak to face it 
you sink into your own reality 
never to be contemplated 
delusion breeds insanity

Midnight

Midnight

The clock strikes twelve!
The Hiding Hyde's wake up

Sleepless nights
With blank eyes wide open

The dead ghosts of your life
Don't let your eyelids droop

Actionable entanglements
Quake your damp pillows

Overinflated remorse
Erratically updates you at night 

These midnight attacks sadly
Terminate the silent sleep 

The days pass by peacefully, but
The midnight hours are unrequited

You Would Think....

You would think that
the true greatness of mankind
would be to assist and promote
the greatness of others....

But...the overinflated ego
deflates, with it's superimposed image...
squezzing out the last ounce of fortune
to feed it's own hunger and thirst
......for power,
where it finds itself 
surrounded by the powerless,where
it finds itself now,most powerful...

You would think that
true greatness,is in the support of...
versus the comparitive opposite

You would think.....?

It's Only Temporary

Self worth described in detailed number's
useless desire's accumulate in storage
excessive consumption flatter's overinflated ego's
excited imagining of sheer satisfaction
temporary status quo enjoy , eventhough
race toward next latest greatest 
...........will fadeth..............
