The Ego

I thrive off of stories of sorrow and struggle

I’ve wallowed in the promise of a “better tomorrow”

In glory and pride, I captivate, penetrate your eyes...

Lose yourself, in my electrical charge

My audience creates me

Driving spasms of systematic chaos within

I reside, hide, in a drop apart from the ocean

So please… take a seat, in my theater of dreams

As i tell tales of a life that is and never was

Let me stand on my stage, elaborate, paint a masterpiece

Every stroke saturated in clever dis-ease

Sit back and relax

As i embellish denial, in pretty gift wrap.
