Some people won’t bother asking questions to understand someone, but if they would, perhaps this understanding would help them see the person and situation with different lenses. Maybe this understanding would allow them to see that everyone has a story, and a reason for who they are today. Maybe they would realize they were basing their observations on preconceived notions rather than facts. If they would simply reach out, their assumption may turn into understanding and compassion, not judging before knowing. Danny G.
The Soul and the Ego (Poem)
She is insecure.
Although on the outside,
She’s the life of the party,
That everyone loves.
An outgoing personality,
Attractive and provocative,
She stops at nothing,
And can get any guy she wants.
However,
Inside she feels,
Afraid and Uneasy,
So she puts on an act,
To avoid revealing herself.
Hiding beneath true feelings,
In an attempt to portray herself,
Normally among the rest.
She is afraid,
To acknowledge him,
To admit she admires him.
For he doesn’t seem her type,
So she puts on a disguise,
And puts on a show,
Because what matters to her most,
Is her ego, and not her soul.
Although on the outside,
She appears to be happy,
Inside she feels empty and lonely,
Fickle and relentless,
Always trying to avoid,
The negative chatter and her voice.
So she puts him on hold,
Because what matters to her most is her ego,
And not her soul.
