Blessed/Cursed Ego

By mysticventures




Without you

I am nothing

And I am lost



Before you

I am helpless

And I am weak



Thru you

I am driven

And I am tried



Because of you

I am tortured

And I am blind



Within you

I am wizened

And I am learned



From you

I am delivered

And I am free

    as the emotional scale tries to find a balance our feelings seem to be measured by the weight of value we place on them...the heavier the sadness the more enlightened the happiness and so on....this poem sparks a lot of thought:) elisa

    Truths said with such clarity and honesty. Not everyone can look so truthfully at themselves and express it so well. Nicely done.

  • A former member wrote: Nice. "Thru you i am driven" I like that line.. Or mayhaps I just like the idea of being driven through/by someone.
