An Egoist In Me

Virtuous or wicked, thoughts within, 

Exhibit their true nature,

Look at his vision, 

He fashions such creatures. 

 

What you perceived, was a quintessential make,

I deceived you with a face so fake!! 

 

Blood in my veins had turned so dark,

An egoist in me generated its spark.

Repulsive was my persona, naïve was my attitude,

Egregious I had become, I wished for solitude. 

 

They hated me, I need not know,

I hated myself, was all I knew.

So evil were my thoughts, so devilish were my actions,

Anticipating the future, I lived in apprehension. 

 

Reaping what I sowed, I was burdened with the load,

Reminiscences of my past hurled till the last.

Fearlessly I lived, I had nothing to give. 

 

Vacillating between the two worlds, I was 

The one I owned, and the one that owned me,

The one I created, and the one that created me. 

 

“Save me, stop me!!”, my inner voice burst out

“I shall not be the person I am”, it pleaded out.

God sent her to rescue my soul,

From the beasts and beetles, within me, that growled. 

 

Devil in me she tore apart, 

Evil in me, I can see depart.

A new bud grows on the bosom,

In the shade of her friendship, 

Some righteousness blossoms. 

 

A friendship so angelic, a road so curvy,

Tyro I am, in this new journey.
