Obsessed

By mysticventures

Am I obsessed with ego?

Yes.

For it is my downfall.

It is like a plague unto my soul.

But, in trying to defeat it -

Do I not give it strength,

Merely by acknowledging it's presence,

And it's power?

Better that I should ignore it completely.

Cast if off as an afterthought.

So that lacking attention,

It fades away -

Into nothingness
