Ego And The Self

I can no longer bear the pain,
my mind is going insane.
It is time to prove myself,
to the ever questioning world.

All alone, i go out to fight,
pondering why god has not shown me light.
It is so cold and dark in here,
haunting and creepy around.

Out of fear,i ask myself,should i step back?
'no' says the ever firm ego.
Have to reach the goal distant away.
somewhat visible yet not very clear.

As i move on,in me i fell a surge of energy,
mind and body in meditative synergy.
rejuvenating the hopes of making it,
Win, i will,i will.

The ego is taking so much pride,
trying to make me blind.
But the heart questions the self
What have you proved?
you were bound to win,
i have no answer.

ken d williams The PoetBay support member heart!
An intereting , well writan poem. Your poem , put of all pote's , Kipling , and his poem ''If''. A man , a poet who wrote with enthosaam , of the British empier. Who lost that enthosasam , after his son was kild on the westan front , his body never found. His son had very bad eye sight , dad puld a few strings got his son excepted in to a gurads regermant as an officer. Kipling spent many years trying to find the son , whon , he the father had insurde his son went off to war and died , with no grave fore his father to viset. Pardan my long winded r esponce , but I could notrecomend his poem '' If'' , with out a bit of Kipling's history. Thank you fore your thoughtful poem.
