Damaging; Ego; Legitimate;
Also shared with Haiku Heights..
Prompt: Eccentric
..
Eccentric ego
legitimates scars on soul;
damaging power
Baffling Need of My Inflated Ego..
Well, it could be
a legitimate craving
Or baffling need of my
Inflated ego
To seek myself
In your expressions
Tell me, won't it be damaging
For both of us
I will neither be able
To know the 'complete' Me
Nor will I ever know
The real you
and I realise that
I can know and find myself only
By letting you be yourself..
RS:)
good advice to take.
ReplyDeleteQuite the philosopher Ramesh:)Positive reinforcement is ego boosting..Finding yourself is a lifelong solitary pilgrimage in the company of others.
ReplyDeleteRS this is so deep and touching.
ReplyDeleteThe following lines are really soulful.
.I will neither be able
To know the 'complete' Me
Nor will I ever know
The real you
I love the realization in this poem. Nicely written Ramesh.
ReplyDeleteSuch wisdom...so often we seek to mold others into what we want them to be instead of celebrating who they are.
ReplyDeleteThat's a powerful Haiku steeped in wisdom.
ReplyDelete'By letting you be yourself'..such deeply said.
