I really do
It burns the fields
Of happiness
In another's
Accomplishments
It floods
The gates
Of admiration
With tears
Because
I didn't do it
I hate my ego
The menace
To society
And friendship
There is not enough light
To share
As its shadow
Swallows
Your pride
Whole
Because
My ego
Can only exist
Alone
Without you
Without your genius
Without my respect
For you
Because my ego
Only recognizes one thing
Itself
