Ego
Wringing my hands
Whistling to no tune in particular
Wrestling my ego

And Iā€™m losing
Badly
It ***** me up
Every single time
Iā€™m onto something
Something legit
It gets in the way
Bosses me around
Screws me over and over again
Whispers nonsense in my ear
Derails my flawless plans
Turns people away from me
Makes me despicable

But if it taught me anything
Anything at all
Is that you should always keep going
Always
No matter the odds

So here I am
Still wrestling
Won't give up
