#ego poems on Hello Poetry

Cadmus Elissa 1d

🦊

Even a fox
has heroic tales to tell
Epic chases, Narrow escapes,
Bravery under Moonlight.

But,
every victory
was won
against chicken.

🐓

A satirical reflection on how those who boast the loudest often choose the weakest opponents. It mocks false bravado and the way predators dress up their predation as valor.

All Consuming Love

I gave you my best

but it wasn't enough

You wanted the rest,

   all-consuming
love

Gave you control,

so, there'd be peace

Relinquish the
hold,

that you have on
me

  A prisoner of
love,

I am breaking
free

like a gray dove,

  please release
me

Take off the
confines,

the shackles & the
chains

after all this
time

only hate remains

We often lose ourselves & our identities as we try to make someone else happy or put others needs before our own.

I’M CRAZY

Sitting in the crowd,
Let them think I'm crazy.

Let me let go of ego,
Let me drop that mask.

Power is within, now.
Freedom is here, now.

Am I crazy — or awake?
I'm feeling alive, now.

This poem was inspired by a real moment — I sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the city's chaos, letting go of the need to be seen a certain way. I allowed myself to be judged, maybe even seen as crazy. But for me, it was a raw moment of ego death and inner freedom.

The Sun and I

The sun can't be compared to moonlight's gleam,
Nor to a billion stars that softly beam.
For it's the one that stays, both near and far—
Through joy and sorrow, my guiding star.

And so, my heart can't be compared as well,
Its steady song, no storm could ever quell.
My mind still burns, it does not tire or stray,
It carves my rightful place from night and day.

Insight #11

When we communicate and we don't feel seen - we may tend to intensify and overemphasize certain aspects. We identify stronger with them which makes them seem insurmountable and unchangeable. This is when we try to prove something.

Know who you are but don't fall into the trap of clinging onto a certain self-image. Let's keep an open mind. There is nothing to prove because truth cannot be changed. When there is nothing to defend, there is nothing to lose.

Self-Absorbed

Did you even hear me?
I heard every single me, humbled?

Long live love

Long live love
           From the wake to the grave
           From the ignorant to the wise
           From the ego to the One
Long live love
           From the stranger to the parent
           From the book to the spoken word
           From the phone to the heart-to-heart

Long live love
           Don't raise your flag
           Don't make excuses
           Don't draw lines
Long live love
           Don't make enemies
           Don't ridicule your nature
           Don't repeat an idea

Long live love
         Look above yourself
         Rest on your lover's lap
         Rest assured, rest alone
         Give in to love
                                    everywhere
                                                           everytime.

                                     it's time

[ Mirroring yourself ]

Mirroring yourself

without ego on others:

a soft reflection.

Comic strip #58 - "Tom Poes en De Spiegelaar" ("The Mirrorer", 1953-1954, Marten Toonder), tier 2107

The saying 'wie zich aan een ander spiegelt, spiegelt zich zacht' means: 'one man's fault is another man's lesson'

Innovation Nation

my dear,
did you happen to know,
the mountains don't stare at the trees,
only the birds do so,
the oceans do not wait for rivers to flow,
before making waves out of ways the wind blows.

believing in ourselves brings innovation in ways we may never have realized before.
