Sometimes, despite conscious effort, your ego gets tied
To proving that your viewpoint is the one that’s right
And even in the face of facts that otherwise state
To prove yourself right, all your efforts you concentrate
Hoping against hope to get results in your favor
Losing would make this a futile endeavor
But your ego gets smashed when you fall flat
Your opinion was wrong and that is the fact…
*
Sometimes the world seems stacked against you
And you intensely, desperately want to
Redeem yourself, and control regain
Being proved right would erase the pain
Of the failures you face, at least temporarily
In your ego a boost you would see
But life keeps hurling difficulties at you
You end up being wrong this time too
*
Then one day out of the blue
Stars start aligning, and you
Suddenly get more than one thing right
Without putting up much of a fight
Your belief in yourself is restored
You feel more confident than you did before
*
No one is right all the time, nor is one
Wrong on every count under the sun
The moral of the story is to have patience
In your own abilities, have some confidence
Passion...unbridled
