Black Poetry : Sista Wears Her Ego...

Sista wears her ego
like a badge --

decked out in amour propre
covering the
mocha glazed uniform
of narcisism which she had
accessorized by arrogance

-- but in reality she is empty
and alone

Sista knows she is cliche,
has told herself to talk
only in careful circles

She salutes the
morning sun
~ the only entity above
herself

She blinks away all rays
of self-doubt and boards
a tram toward her
small domain

In the company of other
sistas...
this too wears thin

...knowing other planets
revolve around their own
penetrating suns

~Salutes fall slack against
such chanting
and by the days end
the arm
may refuse to rise

What is left but a blinking
before cobalt glare
a salute
of finger in
musk-stained air

You know.... my daddy wasn't really round to tell me ****.... but my momma always said.... "don't ever get to full of yourself!"

I really like this one..

too true for so many who put themselves up on a pedestal...
only to find that when they fell they had further to fall and it hurt more on impact..when reality struck...

just

tell the truth.... cuz beauty's only skin deep... (and I know you ain't just talking "physical" here....) but you feel me feeling you...

we could discuss possible reasons for someone over-emphasizing they emphasis...like that emptiness you speak of... could very well be manifested due to deep seated insecurities...which are then masked by over-bearing, obnoxious, delusions of grandeur types of behaviors... they call it overcompensation...

but that's ok, sis... we won't go there, so

just tell the truth, anyhow

peace

very tyght-ly packaged (as ALWAYS) ...

but honest-ly... i don't see nothing wrong
wit a lil' ego trippin' every now & again. it keeps
haters on their toes & creates thought-full flows...
such as this! so... i'm wit Shery's daddy... let a
***** be a *****... as long as she's the best... even
if it's self-professed... as long as the fall from the
pedestal's not hurting you. LOL

AlwaysPeace&Love.

Yep! I feel you ...feelin' me on this piece! Gurl you sound like a "Psych" major.... rollin'out them various terms for the many different behaviors that some folks seem to walk with daily!

Yes, you are right.... we could speak on this subject in many different forms/fashions and would never have the "complete" answer to why some folk have a tendancy to be 'van glorious' or have 'grandiose' thoughts of themselves...

Anyway.... when it's all said and done, what some pompous people receive in return is nothing more than

(which is just how I tie out this poem)

Thanks for the read & your response sistah frynd!
