Ego Check

November 7, 2024

Why do people online act

like they're so much better

at everything and more important

than everyone else in the world?

Having your massive ego

go completely unchecked

is something I don't understand

how anyone can live with or tolerate.

There's always a certain fear

inside of me whenever

I check on these people

that if my name gets widespread,

I have to turn over and start

thinking highly of myself

and not value other people's opinions,

to tell people off that they're wrong

and that I'm always in the right,

and that they should start thinking

in the same way that I do,

to accept my words as facts

and let everyone bow down before me

and treat me like I'm a God.

I want myself to feel like

I'm still worth something,

but not to the point of being

in an over-satisfactory position.

How would you feel

if you were in my shoes for once?

You'd regret everything,

from what you did

to what you said,

all of your actions turned against you.

That's not the future I want.

I want a life as a normal person,

not me telling everyone that

their opinion ain't worth it.

If you can't find a way out of this

then there's no way out for you.

You've gone too deep

into self-obsession.

I hope you realize soon enough

just how far you've gone,

and how it's coming back

to bite you in the neck.
